The 1053rd Scientific Program Meeting:

“Assessment of Sexual Maturity in Adolescence”

Tuesday, January 11, 2022

8:00 pm – 10:00 pm (EST)

Presenter: Otto F. Kernberg, M.D.

Discussant: Susan C. Vaughan, M.D.

This presentation will focus on clinical criteria to assess the degree of emotional maturity or pathology of the adolescent’s sexual love life.  Excessive submissiveness to or rebellious rejection of conventionally dominant patterns of behavior will be contrasted with measures of sexual identity, capacity for object relations in depth, erotic freedom, and idealization processes; in short, the potential for sexual passion.  The determination of the components of sexual identity and their degree of harmonious integration will be reflected in the integration of gender identity with object choice, the intensity of sexual desire, and the idealization of a sexual love relationship as a transcendental intimacy.

2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits offered.
