Global Woman describes the migration of Third World women to the West to find employment as “care workers.” The book prompts the author's reflections on the current state of our own female dominated profession of psychoanalysis. With the ascendance of the relational perspective, notions of care have gained salience as defining features of our practice as analysts. This development has prompted a countermovement to reassert a more traditional conception of psychoanalysis as defined by a particular set of technical precepts and procedures. The apparent opposition between these competing definitions can be deconstructed by examining how many of the technical aspects of psychoanalysis as currently practiced contain within them a (generally unrecognized) theory of care. Rather than engage in a defensive redefining of the caring nature of our work, we need to criticize our society's undervaluation of care.
