Women's psychological code
Description
Book Introduction
“Why are we so obsessed with relationships?” “Why do I binge eat when I’m not hungry?” “Why do we envy even other people’s misfortunes?” What is the real reason for this inexplicable feeling of frustration? Deficiency, desire, love, self-esteem, freedom… 5 Psychological Codes That Make Women Live and Dream "The Psychological Code of Women" is the third book by Park Woo-ran, the author of "A Daughter Grows by Feeding on Her Mother's Emotions" and "I Must Leave My Husband to Live," which delves into women based on Freudian and Lacanian psychology. Through over 10,000 consultations, we have collected in-depth and honest stories about women. As we live, there come moments when we are faced with questions like, “Is it because I’m a woman that I have such a hard time?”, “Who am I, apart from the roles I’ve played so far?”, and “How should I live?” However, it is difficult to clearly explain the factors that make 'women' live and dream. The author of this book says that the reason is because we have lived without seeing women (or men) properly. As Lacan said, “The unconscious is structured in language,” our thoughts, our claims, our selves, and our perspectives already originate from the unconscious into which language flows, but it is not easy to realize this on our own. “By assuming that woman is a hiding place, something that hides something, we misunderstand what constitutes the real question of femininity.” - Serge André The author explained women using Freudian and Lacanian concepts about 'who women are and what they live by.' From the perspective of a 'deficient woman,' it delves into the most essential and intimate aspects of humanity, unraveling a fundamental 'woman's story' that has never been defined before. Rather than simply being a woman in opposition to men, it tells a story of human deficiency, desire, and self-esteem, deeply exploring the emotional issues that not only women but also men have struggled with in life. These problems were explained with the keywords of lack, desire, love, self-esteem, and freedom. These five psychological codes will help you explore your hidden inner self and live as your true self, transcending gender stereotypes. I hope that by reading "The Psychological Code of Women," you will experience the moment when you realize the true face of humanity, a moment you have never seen before, and meet your true self. |

Into the book
We must struggle to survive as truly free selves, to learn what survives as existence in the empty place of death where nothing remains.
On the path of that struggle, I must ponder what language I am organized in, whose desires I live by, and what causes the impulses that dominate me.
The process of thinking will open up a space where I can understand the desires of others, distance myself from their desires, and be myself.
---From “Who Are Women and What Do They Live By?”
There are two major characteristics that make women fall in love.
One is when you feel a self-identifying element.
There is an aspect of women who see themselves as infinitely weak and are particularly attracted to the weak, and an aspect of possessiveness where they are attracted to someone they think (fantasize) has qualities they do not have.
The former can go beyond narcissistic satisfaction and even turn women into fighters who throw themselves at the weak.
The latter will dedicate themselves to the desire for possession and control.
---From "'There is no me without the other?'"
If I go beyond simply building my own niche from the harsh, harsh gaze of others and the world through my own choices, and instead enjoy the loneliness and pain that comes from their misunderstanding and criticism, I can reach a point of unprecedented zenith.
So, although it is a choice that anyone can take and make, it is certainly not a path that everyone takes and a choice that everyone makes.
---From "Now is the Age of Loss"
True salvation, as Buddhism says, seems to be a state in which we are no longer caught up in impulses and desires.
The desires and impulses that form the layers within us are all social products, and the unconscious also originates from others.
So, it means that I am no longer a typist, but I am, and becoming me means that there is nothing left, that I am nothing.
It means losing everything.
Even in the midst of all this, we must survive.
---From "The Tug of War Between Happiness and Pain"
Some people are vaguely aware of the jealousy that arises between close relationships, such as between husband and wife, teacher and student, or children and parents.
Things aren't so bad this time.
Because in the process of analysis, it becomes possible to segment it and redirect the energy in different directions.
The problem isn't the energy that is expressed in jealousy itself, but how it is used that ultimately leads to conflict and pain in the relationship.
It is a problem that goes so deep that you are not even aware of it or should not be aware of it.
Unconscious jealousy creates various rationalizations and justifications on the surface, which in turn produces further suffering.
---From "Jealousy in the Place of Deficiency"
We say, as if it were a habit, 'accept it as it is', but it is also a fancy way of saying that if we just accept the world as it is, it will become like that even though the world we see is not as it is.
What we see with our eyes cannot be what is.
If my desires are not projected and I cannot separate the world from myself and leave a space between them, then the idea that things are as they are is nothing more than a distant illusion.
---From "'And Still, Love Blooms'"
There are women who can never be happy as mothers.
There are women who have already become wives, but can never be happy as wives.
Some women suffer from guilt when they discover that they are not capable of motherhood because they know that motherhood is a woman's nature and fundamental nature.
Not all women and not all men can live their lives surrendering to the roles and images demanded by society or family.
And the fact that I don't fit that image is not something that should be condemned.
However, if I could perceive what kind of person I am a little more delicately and closely, I might be able to live my life and the world around me in a different way.
---From "There Are No Women"
Couples and lovers come into close contact every day, and that contact is primarily achieved through conversation, that is, through the exchange of language.
Although physical contact and skinship are very important, there are couples who get along well without having an intimate physical relationship.
They have relatively smooth verbal communication and interaction.
Having a good conversation and understanding and comprehending each other's language are two different things.
These days, it is said that conversation and communication methods are very well developed, but I do not believe that verbal communication can be achieved only by refining and smoothing speaking skills.
---From "Broken Language, Broken Heart"
Couples and lovers are in the closest contact every day, and that contact is, above all, conversation. We always feel like we are sharing a certain gaze.
The gaze follows me, makes me conscious, makes me feel unnatural, and controls me.
It could be the parents' perspective, or it could simply be the world's perspective that a child who has never experienced it himself has indiscriminately accepted.
In a situation where I am placed under such a gaze, I must become the subject of the gaze.
It takes courage to separate and block out the gaze.
To do that, I have to constantly fight against the gazes that dominate me and constantly struggle to escape from them.
Then we have to re-enter that place of gaze.
---From "'There's a Bohemian in a Woman'"
The idea that happiness is nothing more than the harmony and comfort we believe to be, the warm evenings spent with our loved ones and family, may be nothing more than the happiness of others, governed by an ideology.
It might be happiness to just let myself be lonely, cold, insecure, hungry, and desolate.
It is from the “state of nothingness” where there is no influence from anyone or no reflection from anyone.
On the path of that struggle, I must ponder what language I am organized in, whose desires I live by, and what causes the impulses that dominate me.
The process of thinking will open up a space where I can understand the desires of others, distance myself from their desires, and be myself.

Publisher's Review
The representative female psychoanalyst in Korea who knows women best,
A new take on female psychology, one that has never been explored before.
- Reading a woman's inner thoughts that even she didn't know
Has there ever been a book that so truthfully describes women? The conflicts stemming from gender roles and the problems arising from the inherent nature of women not only cause hardship to women themselves, but also pose a challenge to men who fail to understand them.
《The Psychological Code of Women》 begins its story from the perspective of a “deficient woman” by explaining women not only in terms of simple social roles and gender differences, but also through Lacan’s concept of “phallus.”
The definition is quite unique in that it interprets the existence of the 'phallus' as a special phenomenon caused by women's deficiency.
That gaze is also sharp, and it comes across as cold and heavy rather than as some kind of affectionate comfort.
There is nothing more difficult than knowing your own mind clearly, but the author urges us to properly assess the situation, realize it for ourselves, and stand upright.
After reading this book, we will be able to discover truths we were unaware of and inner thoughts we could not understand.
Why do we want people and crave love?
- Women's psychological code: lack, desire, love, self-esteem, freedom
#1.
A mother who shows abnormal obsession with her child
There are women who believe that they should be devoted to their children and support them.
To her, the child is like a part of her own body.
Everything is tailored to the child.
Sometimes, a child feels suffocated by such a mother's excessive love for him.
Why does this woman shower her child with so much love? It's easy to assume the mother is overly devoted to her child, but in reality, her focus is entirely on herself.
These women exist within families and social networks, but it is difficult to see them as having actual relationships.
There is only oneself through one's children, through others.
All of the excess mental energy is directed towards oneself, and one is overwhelmed by one's own enormous self.
It is truly frustrating and suffocating for both the child and the mother.
#2.
A woman who tells her boyfriend to break up with her all the time
There is a woman who regularly tells her boyfriend that she wants to break up.
I get along well with my boyfriend, and when conflicts arise, we resolve them through conversation, so there doesn't seem to be any major problems.
However, the woman repeatedly said that she wanted to break up rather than be satisfied with the relationship.
When her boyfriend expresses his love or shows devotion, she starts to doubt whether it is genuine.
She complains that although they were happy and enjoyable when they met, she did not feel that her boyfriend loved her completely.
At first glance, it seems like she wants an incredibly intense love.
But her real desire seems to be 'lack', not the ecstasy of confirmation of love or the congruence of finding herself in the object.
Cases like this frequently appear in the stories of many women I meet in counseling rooms.
Not only in the counseling room, but probably in the hearts of all women around us, there are layers of wounds, big and small.
The first factor to note here is ‘unconsciousness’.
I need to take a close look at my heart to see why I am obsessed and desire.
The second is ‘deficiency’.
In a society where the unconscious belief that women become complete beings through men is deeply rooted, the feeling of deficiency is bound to become even stronger.
The hunger inside creates attachment, conflict, and desire in boyfriends, children, husbands, and all human relationships.
That is why we need to look at ourselves critically now.
We need to look with a cold heart at what is lacking and what our subconscious is telling us.
Only by looking at myself soberly can I find the root of the problem and live a life that is free for me.
The truth about the 'unknown mind' discovered in the unconscious
- Correctly reading women's psychology
Sometimes we suffer from unknown problems of the mind.
Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law may engage in a power struggle over their sons, or they may secretly become jealous of others' happiness and misfortune.
They may overeat even when they are not hungry, or waste money buying things they do not need.
Love should only make you happy, but sometimes love ruins your life.
Reading this book will give you a clear understanding of what our hunger was and the answers to our unknown questions.
This is why we need a process of analyzing the mind beyond the outward appearances.
This is why the author's insight, which has been deeply analyzed through over 10,000 consultations to understand women's emotional problems, is all the more valuable.
The author tells us to look at ourselves more critically.
He says that if a woman is at a point where she cannot speak in a patriarchal society, she must overcome that point.
I hope that we can reflect on ourselves through the five psychological codes of women, categorized as lack, desire, love, self-esteem, and freedom, as described by the author.
To restore human relationships, you will find clues in this book on how to live as a free and independent being.
