COURSE DESCRIPTION
5.0 Continuing Education Units
Entrenched ideas about gender often limit how we understand a patient's gendered experience causing us to retraumatize the very people we mean to help. We may see "problems" in gender where they don't exist, or we may fail to see how gender causes a problem for a patient.
How do we listen to our patients with nuance and flexibility while keeping biases and blind spots from closing down crucial exploration?
No matter where our patients fall on spectrums of gender or sexuality, we need to overturn limited and limiting models of gender in the clinic.
This workshop will introduce ideas from contemporary psychoanalytic gender theory. Through lectures, case vignettes, and experiential exercises, attendees will come away more attuned to gender biases in both clinician and patient with an expanded understanding of what gendered subjectivity is and can be.
