Fixed or Fluid: Gender and Sexuality in Same Sex Partners By Michael M. Crocker, DSW, LCSW
Gender and sexuality are being explored as constructs rather than genetic or biological determinism. Clinicians need to listen closely to the development of these constructs. Same sex partners often feel perplexed when homophobia, sexism, misogyny, and social values get intertwined leaving it difficult to flesh out relationship roles due to socially constructed narratives. These narratives can then result in counter-transferential interference if left unknown, unobserved and unformulated.
This talk will weave in theories of gender, sexual identity and the stages of self-acceptance as well as false versus true self-identification. We as clinicians need to overturn limited and limiting models of gender and sexuality, no matter where our patients fall on these spectrums. We need to help them discover where they are landing and how to tolerate ambiguity and fluidity
Temperament: Clinical and Cultural Implications By Brian Quinn, Ph.D., LCSW
Dr. Brian Quinn begins his presentation by posing the question “Are there temperamental roots to patriarchy?” He then focuses on temperaments and examines those men with a hyperthymic temperament that are energetic, driven, self-assured and risk-takers who frequently rise to positions of power and authority. He claims that they can also be irritable, meddlesome, overbearing, and coercively controlling. Furthermore, he closely looks at the contributions of this predominantly male temperament to the oppression, exploitation, and abuse of women. Dr. Quinn concludes with a unique discusses, circling back to his question, regarding the roots to patriarchy.
