COURSE DESCRIPTION
2.5 Continuing Education Units

​Gender and sexuality are being explored as constructs rather than genetic or biological determinism. Clinicians need to listen closely to the development of these constructs. Same-sex partners often feel perplexed when homophobia, sexism, misogyny, and social values get intertwined leaving it difficult to flesh out relationship roles due to socially constructed narratives. These narratives can then result in counter-transferential interference if left unknown, unobserved and unformulated.

This talk will weave in theories of gender, sexual identity and the stages of self-acceptance as well as false versus true self-identification. We as clinicians need to overturn limited and limiting models of gender and sexuality, no matter where our patients fall on these spectrums. We need to help them discover where they are landing and how to tolerate ambiguity and fluidity.
Learning Objectives:

​
  1. Describe some of the struggles of same-sex relationships.
