Comments on “Women’s Voices in Psychohistory and Psychoanalysis”

This article touches upon aspects of anthropology, sociology, biology, and psychoanalysis, all of which play a part in our developing understandings of “Women’s Voices in Psychohistory and Psychoanalysis.” Dr. Inna Rozentsvit deserves much credit for raising an underrepresented subject that affects our field and society. It is one of the issues we must resolve to optimize to solve our impending survival challenges. However, despite the well-documented discussions, the article has two underrepresented areas: One, the history of discrimination against women is not described comprehensively, and two, despite including “Psychohistory” in the title, it only discusses psychoanalysts. I don’t know how psychohistory rates on this issue and don’t have the means to find out, but it is an important question: Have we made progress, and what is it? What might have turned the tide?
