Sexuality and Gender Now uses a psychoanalytic approach to arrive
at a more informed view of the experience and relationships of
those whose sexuality and gender may not align with the
heterosexual "norm". This book confronts the heteronormative bias
dominant in psychoanalysis, using a combination of theoretical and
clinical material, offering an important training tool as well as
being relevant for practicing clinicians. The contributors address
the shift clinicians must make not only to support their patients
in a more informed and non-prejudicial way, but also to recognise
their own need for support in developing their clinical thinking.
They challenge assumptions, deconstruct theoretical ideas, extend
psychoanalytic concepts, and, importantly, show how clinicians can
attend to their pre-conscious assumptions. They also explore the
issue of erotic transference and countertransference, which, if
unaddressed, can limit the possibilities for supporting patients
more fully to explore their sexuality and gender. Theories of
psychosexuality have tended to become split off from the main field
of psychoanalytic thought and practice or read from an assumed
moral high ground of heteronormativity. The book specifically
addresses this bias and introduces new ways of using psychoanalytic
ideas. The contributors advocate a wider and more flexible attitude
to sexuality in general, which can illuminate an understanding of
all sexualities, including heterosexuality. Sexuality and Gender
Now will be essential reading for professionals and students of
psychoanalysis who want to broaden their understanding of sexuality
and gender in their clinical practice beyond heteronormative
assumptions.
