January 17, 2020 — Perversion
[51 pages]
How do we determine healthy from pathological sexuality when thinking about perversion? What do we do clinically when confronted with the sexuality of our patients that challenge our own beliefs and experiences? Both readings for this session will provide an opportunity to consider these questions in some depth.
