Description: Traditional psychoanalytic theory of gender and sexuality, has been critiqued by feminist, queer, and post-modern theorists within and outside of the field of psychoanalysis. These critiques have led to substantial updates in the psychoanalytic perspective on gender and sexuality, integrating the social, soma, and psyche. Each month, study group participants read articles and book chapters reflecting contemporary psychoanalytic views of gender and sexuality. The study group format allows participants to present case material that relates to the readings. Through the engagement with contemporary theory (and the limits to theory) and peer supervision, participants will build upon their foundational knowledge of gender and sexuality and integrate their skills to work with diverse clients in an efficacious and ethical manner.
