Otto Rank in Beyond Psychology asserts that the psychologies of men and women are different in that while the psychology of man merely wants the psychology of woman wants to be wanted. Now that is in his book originally published in 1939, ( I came to know of him through Ernest Becker’s Denial of Death). Does that assertion make sense? |

Sounds almost correct. Most woman I know do want to be wanted or needed but not just used.late |

I think most humans want and want to be wanted. How does he say they are seperated by gender? |

Essorant, He says men merely want, while women want to be wanted. He comes to this by observation, his own and that of others. I personally have my doubts since he also says that men have an initial aversion to sex with women because of its link to death which has to be overcome by culture; that makes no sense to me. |
