Tuesday, October 13, 2020

8:00 – 10:00 pm

Panelists: Jack Drescher, M.D. (moderator), Rachel Levine, M.D., Jack Pula, M.D.,

Rabbi Mike Moskowitz, Hilli Dagony-Clark, Psy.D. 

 

 

Early theorists of human sexuality typically conflated the concepts of sexuality and gender. In the mid-19th century, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs theorized that what would later come to be called male “homosexuality” was “caused” by a woman’s spirit being trapped in a man’s body. Richard von Krafft-Ebing defined presentations of people with atypical gender expressions as “homosexuality.” And Freud, in his theorizing about Leonardo da Vinci, attributed the latter’s homosexuality to an “identification” with the mother–an idea not so much unlike a woman’s spirit trapped in a man’s body.  How do we understand today the relation between gender and sexuality?  How do the meanings of these terms relate not only to each other, but also to their embodied and subjective experiences?  What has been the impact of psychiatric diagnoses, such as “gender identity disorder” or “homosexuality,” on individuals and on society at large? Where should contemporary psychoanalysts situate themselves in this scientific and cultural discourse?  These are just some of the questions that will be explored by the panelists.
2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits offered.
