Changes

The phrase "[[sexual difference]]", which has come into prominence in the debate between [[psychoanalysis]] and [[feminism]], is not part of [[Freud]]'s or [[Lacan]]'s theoretical vocabulary.

However, both [[Freud]] and [[Lacan]] address the question of [[sexual difference]], and an entry has been included for this temr because it brings together an import set of related themes in [[Lacan]]'s work, and because it constitutes an important focus for feminist approaches to [[Lacan]]'s work.

One of the basic presuppositions underlying [[Freud]]'s work is that just as there are certain physical differences between men and women, so also there are psychical differences.
