I Have Nothing to Wear!

Dressing nicely and following fashion is a pleasure, a kind of entertainment, for many women. However, this seemingly simple daily pleasure can turn into a complex and heavy burden, and sometimes even torture, for many. Despite shopping trips that last for hours and clothes that are constantly renewed and overflowing from the closets, most women complain about not being able to find anything to wear when they look at their wardrobes. So what does this situation indicate?

"I have nothing to wear!" What kind of deficiency lies behind the sentence? Could what is sought but never found actually be a lost piece of feminine identity or an unfulfilled hunger for love in the mother-daughter relationship? What is the real function of endless shopping? Could the passion for clothes that turns into addiction be a form of self-expression? Does the "personality-changing" role attributed to clothes serve to heal narcissistic wounds? Do the clothes we wear actually cover the deep abyss of our personality instead of our body? Does the "ideal garment" really exist?

In I Have Nothing to Wear!, clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst Elise Ricadat and Lydia Taïeb examine the underlying reasons for women's problematic relationship with clothes. The book, prepared based on an extensive clinical study, is a guiding source for coming to terms with this dimension of female identity.
