Description:
Description: The study of human sexual identities is changing, and these changes oblige analysts to think about sexualities in ways never envisioned by their psychoanalytic forbears. These changes also require that they be aware of some of the limitations imposed upon by their own theoretical traditions. Toward that end, this presentation begins with a definition of terms related to modern conceptions of sexuality and sexual identities. This is followed by a review of historical assumptions underlying the theory of bisexuality. The next section introduces the audience to the role of categories and hierarchies in general, and to the clinical meaning of sexual hierarchies in particular. This is followed by a discussion of the meanings and uses of the “natural.” The final section concludes with a commentary on intersexuality as an example of both the social and surgical construction of gender.
Learning Objectives:
After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. formulate the theoretical and cultural context in which Freud developed his theory of bisexuality
2. delineate some of the usually unexamined cultural beliefs about gender that led to medically treating intersex infants and children with unnecessary surgery and secrecy
3. articulate some of the unexamined and often dissociated roles of values in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy
4. identify terms from sexology research that are not commonly used in psychoanalytic theorizing and case formulations
