Fixed or Fluid: Gender & Sexuality in Same-Sex Partners

Part of the NYSSCSW's 51st Annual Education Conference - Emerging Voices
PRESENTED SAT, NOVEMBER 7, 2020

REVIEW - EDITED EXCERPT

Michael Crocker’s illuminating and fascinating presentation introduces new ideas and definitions to think about and to apply to clinical work. He believes that a fluid view of sexuality and gender better explains many of the common relationship and individual issues that arise in his work.

Crocker sees the impact of shame, trauma, and stigma in same-sex populations and identifies many defenses this group has developed such as shame about being feminine or mascu­line, perfectionism, and self-medication. He also finds the fluidity of attachment and affect theory particularly relevant in his clinical work.

[Crocker recommends clinicians] stay away from labels, focus on the clients' experience, follow the affect, and above all, be curious. The complexities of working with same-sex individuals and couples is well documented here and offer us much food for thought in our own clinical work.
