Description

The increase in the number of non-binary children and adults in our society raises important treatment questions as well as much controversy.

It seems essential that analysts and candidates grapple with the challenges this change in society presents.

As we struggle in our psychoanalytic societies to diversify our membership and broaden our understanding of difference, this collection offers an opportunity for further discussion and study of one of the most important issues of our time. The opening essay by editor Shari Thurer provides a clear overview of recent cultural changes and the evolution of thinking about gender identification by the American Psychoanalytic Association.

Next is an autobiographical essay by long-term non-binary individual Robin Haas plus a clinical reflection on Haas' contribution by Rita Teusch.

A recent account of an individual becoming non-binary from Francesca Spence is followed by the reactions of their parents, L.

Harry Spence and Robin Ely. After that are psychoanalytic thoughts about the body and gender by Malkah Notman and reflections on gender from Dan Jacobs.

The book ends with an extensive bibliography on the subjects of transsexuality and non-binary gender by Oren GozlanBeyond the Binary: Essays on Gender introduces readers to current ideas about gender fluidity and choice, as well as giving voice to those who have chosen to be non-binary.

This is a must-read for all practising clinicians that will help broaden their perspective on this growing issue. This is the fourth publication sponsored by the Library Committee of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and the first published by Phoenix.
