End of Gender
A Psychological Autopsy
«
"This erudite review of multiple enactments of gender in the wake of 'pomo,' or postmodern, theory is an impressive tour de force...A wide-ranging, intelligent analysis that can serve as an introduction to the issues while also making its own, unique contribution." -- ForeWord, November/December 2005
"This book is Thurer’s articulate and persuasive argument against the validity of unyielding sex and gender categories … The eyes of the clinician, academic and general reader will be opened on how to deconstruct the concepts of gender, sexual orientation, and sexuality through psychoanalytic, postmodern, and queer theories… The clever use of pop culture and engaging case presentations instantly pulls the reader in." -- Gregory M. Jones, Division 44 Newsletter, Spring 2007
"As I read the book, I found myself challenged, provoked and grateful… Her combination of irony, humor, empathy, conversational language, and accessible writing is irresistible, making this brilliant feat of scholarship a pleasure to read." Sharon K. Farber Division 39 Newsletter, Winter 2007
"This is a remarkable book. My head was spinning from the vast array of topics covered...this book is smart, witty, extremely far-ranging, and enormously complex. I am glad I read it." -- Ellen Cole, American Journal of Psychology, Fall 2007

"Both the cover and the title of Shari Thurer's book may strike the reader as provocative, offensive, confrontational. As I read the book, I found myself challenged, provoked, and grateful. This is a fascinating and thought-provoking read, thoroughly enjoyable. Notable is Thurer's ability to present so much in so little space, in seemingly effortless fashion. That takes a tremendous effort indeed." - Sharon K. Farber, Psychologist-Psychoanalyist, Winter 2007
