January 10, 2020 — Transgender
[29 pages]
For the non-transgender analyst, there are few subjective experiences more difficult to understand in the consulting room. In this session, we will look at a broad, social constructivist view of transgender phenomena provided by Goldner. To compliment this approach, Lemma provides a developmental model for understanding transgenderism which is rooted in attachment and object relations theory. In addition, she offers a clinical example for working with these issues in treatment.
