President of the American Psychoanalytic Association on Superbowl Images of Masculinity
Prudence Gourguechon, M.D., current president of the American Psychoanalytic Association, comments on the Psychology Today blog about the multiple images of masculinity at the Super Bowl: “the hypertrophied virility of the actual competitors, the symbolic virility of the technical designers, team owners and advertising execs, the castrated fellows being offered a desperate way out of their subjugation to their feminizing women via a car or a tiny TV, and men in late life trying to pretend they are 20 years old.”
