Psychologist explains women's choice to live with cats through psychoanalysis
Claude-Hélène Mayer of the University of Johannesburg, in an article for Current Psychology, linked women's lives with cats to Winnicott's concept of the 'transitional object': after loss or the collapse of a relationship, a cat helps cope with loneliness and gives structure to the days. The conclusions rest on the author's personal history and the fates of Camille Claudel and Gwen John.
