"Dr. Nagera's work on the oedipus complex and female sexuality represents the major contribution to the subject since Marie Bonaparte's book on female sexuality was published in the nineteen thirties. Since that time significant additions have been made to our anatomical, physiological and psychological knowledge of this area by Masters and Johnson, Sherfey, and others. 'Female Sexuality and the Oedipus Complex' successfully integrates these advances with psychoanalytic concepts. The book deals with the sources of present misconceptions and clarifies the different oedipal constellations and their effects. Dr. Nagera demonstrates how the lack of clinical differentiation leads to inappropriate interpretations and interventions, pointing out that this is why female sexual disturbances are frequently so difficult to treat. Following Anna Freud's theories of development, the author describes in clinical detail the contributions, interactions, and relevance of five independent lines of development that determine the final sexual position of the female. The multitude of clinical examples illustrating these propositions greatly enhance the book and illustrate the continuum of psychosexual development between childhood and adulthood".
