Abstract
Like many others, I (Verhaeghe) discovered Juliet Mitchell via her first book, Psychoanalysis and Feminism (1974). The way she extended psychoanalysis, from the individual to family and society, was an eye-opener to me. In the two decades that followed, I studied Freud and Lacan, but just after the new millennium, Anglo-Saxon psychoanalysis was brought back again under my attention when I attended Juliet Mitchell’s lecture on siblings in New York, and later, in Vienna, her lecture on gender. I read Mad Men and Medusas and Siblings, which reminded me of the necessity to place psychoanalysis in a much broader framework than only a family frame, and to assign psychoanalysis an explicit political and social dimension (Verhaeghe, 2014a).
