Abstract
This essay explores the entanglements concerning sexuality and femininity that take place in the treatment relationship between female analysts and female patients. Focusing on the female analyst's contribution by way of her embodied gender and its symbolic functions, it advocates that women seek something specific to their sexual identities from other women and that, as women analysts, we can provide a gendered container for our patients' concrete and symbolic identity needs. This idea is developed within the context of post-Lacanian views of femininity and sexuality.
