Abstract
ABSTRACT My response aims to demonstrate how a capacity for triangular space allows us to tolerate and encompass differences of all sorts, ranging from theoretical orientations to family and coupling structures. I re-emphasize the contemporary Kleinian/Bionian Oedipus as a developmental model of the mind that is a departure from the classical model of the Oedipus complex and its associated anchoring in psychosexual development. I reargue the necessity of divorcing Oedipal theory from its historical heterosexist bias and highlight the clinical relevance of a contemporary Oedipal lens when working with a wide variety of non-heteronormative relationships, including, LGBTQ couples, families and single parents.
