Sommario/riassunto

This is the author's second work into female psychology and sexuality. The first volume of her influential work, The Psychology of Women, appeared in 1944, to be followed by the second volume a year later. When the author came to consider the relationship of The Psychology of Women to Psychoanalysis of the Sexual Functions of Women, first published almost twenty years before, she observed: "It is evident that the first publication already contains all the building stones for the



latter. What was first conceived by intuition and observation of a small number of analyzed women was later supported and confirmed by thirty years of experience".
