  • Title: The masculine principle in lesbian families: a Jungian understanding.
    Author: Weston A.
    Journal: J Lesbian Stud; 2008; 12(2-3):179-89. PubMed ID: 19042731.
    Abstract:
    Using the concepts of individuation and masculine and feminine principles from Jungian psychology, the author explores the use of the masculine principle in parenting male children in families without an embodied father. The role of lesbian parents' own relationship with the masculine within themselves, features of the initiation process, and the function that team sports can play in a boy child's development are presented and examined. Lesbian parenting of sons is explored from both personal and professional perspectives.
