Description: Current faculty members, advisors, and consultants, and those interested in these roles in the future, are invited to participate in a faculty development worship with Avgi Saketopoulou, Psy.D. This will be an opportunity for participants to continue the discussion from the previous day’s workshop, with a focus on teaching, advising, and consulting.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to consult and teach about developmental considerations entailed in working with transgender children.
2. Participants will be able to consult and teach about the relationship between binarizing thought vs. action when it comes to considering hormonal interventions, and the analyst's countertransferential fears and anxieties regarding children's medical transition.
3. Participants will be able to consult and teach about why, from a psychoanalytic perspective, the notion of "core gender identity" and a preoccupation with desistance or regret is both clinically unproductive and conceptually problematic.
