What to expect:
This conference will explore rapidly expanding psychoanalytically informed perspectives on gender, sexuality and orientation. The conference readings offer radically different perspectives that are challenging and useful in multiple ways. Several assumptions will guide the conference: 1) Psychoanalytic theory on gender and sexuality is ever changing and evolving, 2) Multiple perspectives are useful, 3) We should all be asking ourselves how we think about gender and sexuality, and 4) There is liberation to be found for everyone in the evolving literature.
Course objectives:
Describe three controversial issues regarding gender and sexuality found in the current psychoanalytic literature.
Identify areas of potential personal bias and two particular ways to recognize countertransference dynamics related to gender and sexuality.
Identify two particular psychoanalytic techniques that are specific to gender and sexuality dynamics.
Participants will be able to Identify two aspects of analytic psychotherapy practice that are supported by empirical research
