ABOUT THIS EVENT
From the earliest beginnings of psychoanalysis, perceptions of sex and gender have greatly influenced the therapeutic relationship. Societal upheavals in our world along with the turn toward embodiment have led to significant changes in our understanding of these concepts. Our speakers examine sex and gender in contemporary clinical practice from a variety of perspectives.
