Interventions for managing instances of boundary violations are delineated.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:

2:30 - 4:25 pm, Panel: Sexuality
Keynote: Otto Kernberg, MD
Chair/Discussant: Kerry Kelly Novick
Presenters: Adrienne Harris, PhD; Arlene Kramer Richards, EdD
A current controversy over gender and sexuality has raised social issues as well as psychoanalytic dilemmas. Contrasting two recent movies that deal with the transgender conundrum (“The Skin I Live In”, and “The Danish Girl”), a panellist will show the applicability of the issues they deal with to a person in psychotherapy. Another panellist uses Winnicott’s ideas to explore the transmission and instance of support of infantile sexuality as an aspect of attachment and linking. Another theme examined is Winnicott’s ideas about gender and madness, as a process by which gender, in a complex “softly assembled” encounter with desire, may emerge.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the socio-cultural experiences encountered by transgendered persons.
- Describe theoretical constructs related to gender development.
- Explain the complex effects of desire and identification as an aspect of attachment and linking leading to gender development.
4:25 - 5:15 pm, Summation: Harold Blum, MD
The presenter will review all of the major theories and concepts on the topics of transgender, boundary violation, and sexuality discussed on the panels. The current controversies that exist will be explored, as it is an area that needs sound proposals for research and further study.
After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:
- Describe the current controversies that exist in the areas of transgender, boundary violation, and sexuality.
- Discuss potential areas for future research and study on sexuality.
