Leidenschaftlich analytisch

Sophinette Becker was a critical thinker who directed her differentiated and clear view at topics that often received little attention or were even taboo. This anthology is shaped by her very own perspective, which is thought-provoking and encourages us to engage with foreign perspectives and experiences.

In her texts, the sexologist and psychotherapist combines clinical, social and political aspects. She addresses central sexual science topics such as sexual orientation, transgender, gender identity and AIDS. She also explores the effects of National Socialism and the mechanisms of repression, especially with regard to psychoanalysis. Among the texts, which date back more than 30 years of her career, are titles such as "Paedophilia between Demonisation and Trivialisation", "On the Malice of Women", "On the Function of Sexuality in National Socialism" or "Gender and Sexual Orientation in Dissolution - What Remains?". In them, it is evident that Becker's voice is invaluable to anyone who wants to engage with the dynamics in our society in an informed and critical way.
