Psychotherapy for Health & Wellness
Dr. Jessica Zucker is a writer with a keen interest in female identity
development, mother-daughter relationships, and issues surrounding the body.
Her background in international public health combined with her psychological
and psychoanalytic perspectives inform both her writing and her clinical
practice.
Dr. Zucker's doctoral dissertation is titled "The Relational Body: Vicissitudes of
the Mother-Daughter Attachment and Sexual Subjectivity in Pornography".
She continues to cultivate her writing through the Writer's Development
Program of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and
Psychotherapy.
Jessica presented her research on female embodiment, sexual development,
and the daughtering experience in pornography at the American Psychological
Association's Division of Psychoanalysis (39) meeting in New York April
2008. She collaborated with Drs. Muriel Dimen, Katie Gentile, and Virginia
Goldner. The title of her paper is "Lights, Camera, Attachment: Female
Embodiment as Seen Through the Lens of Pornography".
Dr. Zucker has been invited to be a part of a forthcoming anthology published
by Karnac Books based on her research and writing on pornography.
Co-sponsored by the Psychoanalytic Study Center of New York and Studies
in Gender and Sexuality, an interdisciplinary academic journal, Jessica has
been invited to be a member of the planning committee in developing a
conference on psychoanalysis and pornography. This meeting will take place
in New York in the spring of 2009.
