The course of an analysis of a young gay man will be described through several clinical vignettes.  Themes of substance abuse, sadomasochism, the social construction of gender, and protracted separation/individuation will be considered from a psychoanalytic perspective.

After attending this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Identify the psychodynamics of sadomasochism and how to work with them in the transference and countertransference relationship.
  2. Describe how substance abuse can function to preserve the relationship with a dead (or deadened) object.
  3. Summarize how the developmental period of young adulthood can be understood to create a crisis of separation for some young adults in their quest for achieving individuation and self-responsibility.

Date and Time: Monday, Dec. 6, 2021 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm CST

A Zoom link will be sent on Dec. 3rd.

This seminar is open and free to the public!
