Kulish's What Do Sex and Gender Have to Do with It? is essential reading for psychoanalytic thinkers and clinicians, working with female sexuality and gender issues. With Frida Kahlo, Greek mythology, and The Secret Garden in her imagination, Kulish makes a brilliant innovative contribution to the analysis of the female triadic stage. Her clinical vignettes address female erotic transference, competition, exhibitionism, longing for the nurturing mother, fears of her loss. Kulish's book will change the reader's ways of listening to patients, to bodily secrets, hidden desires, paternal transferences to female analysts. Her work boldly questions accepted theory, aware of gender biases in patient and analyst, deeply embedded in our culture. Every paper contains gems of clinical observation and conceptual insight, conveyed in Kulish's limpid prose.- Dr. Margaret Ann Fitzpatrick Hanly, PhD
