This workshop will provide basic theoretical knowledge for psychodynamic work with transgender and gender diverse patients. After introducing participants to language and definitions related to the gender diverse community, this workshop will consist of learning about transference dynamics that may occur when working with transgender patients, common defenses used to deal with transphobia and the therapist's cisgender privilege, and resentment towards letter writing for hormones and/or surgery. The psychological and ethical challenges of working with this population will be discussed. We will explore how identity development can be difficult for patients living in a cissexist and transphobic work and how psychodynamic therapy can assist patients with the development of a cohesive self. The emphasis will be on object relations theory and self-psychology.
This workshop will use a variety of presentation strategies to aid participants in the application of these standards to clinical practice:
- Lecture
- Small group facilitated discussion
- Large group facilitated discussion
- Theoretical case conceptualization using clinical vignettes
