“Their work evidences that it is not just about enriching psychoanalysis with insight from TQGS studies but about turning the process of psychoanalysis on itself, letting it step into an analytic process with other disciplines. If such a transformation of psychoanalysis is on the horizon, then I believe TQGS studies should turn toward such transformative processes sooner rather than later.” —Lava Schadde, ROOM: A Sketchbook for Analytic Action

“I found Gender Without Identity to be what I expected: challenging, occasionally inscrutable, yet altogether quite clever and thought-provoking.” —Kara.Reviews

“I felt challenged by Pellegrini and Saketopoulou…It’s not hard to see gender as wrapped up with, or a container for, other inter- generational patterns.” —Eden Heffron-Hanson, Outfront Magazine
