Abstract
Traditional theorists metaphorically embedded psychological androgyny in their developmental pathways to psychological health and personal well-being. In aligning aspects of androgynous principles with psychoanalytic theory, this article reveals neo-androgyny's secret language in psychoanalytical thinking. It focuses on the connections between them and how psychoanalysis implicitly employs androgynous thinking.
Amplifying psychoanalysis's primary assumptions exposes how psychoanalytical theory embeds an androgynous mindset to help reconcile frustration and conflict and the oppositions of acting or not acting in the human condition.
