Simone de Beauvoir on Psychoanalysis - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 298 Psychoanalysis/Beauvoir: The fact that the human body is fundamentally embedded in a culturally symbolic context leads to an examination of classical psychoanalysis and the gender model, as Freud derives this from the positioning of the male and female individual in the Oedipus complex. BeauvoirVsFreud: What Freud describes as a universal psychological mechanism, is understood by Beauvoir as a theory of socialization that traces a historically specific inculturation of the sexes. The superiority of the Father and the value of the phallus are social facts in a patriarchal society. Thus, the psychoanalytic approach shifts "inwards", as it were, what "outwards" is; it maps social relationships to psychic structures and derives a regularity from a description. Brocker I 299 Beauvoir: (Context: the anatomical difference of the human sexes): Of course, anatomy is not already destiny, for "only within the situation grasped in its totality, anatomical privilege establishes a human one. Psychoanalysis can only find its truth in a historical context" (1). See BeauvoirVsEngels. 1. Simone de Beauvoir, Le deuxième sexe, Paris 1949. Dt.: Simone de Beauvoir, Das andere Geschlecht.
