Trans-Gender Psychoanalysis

In 2021, I taught a postgraduate seminar called “Trans-Gender Psychoanalysis” as part of the curriculum of the Adult Psychoanalytic Training Program and Fellowship in Hospital-Based Psychotherapy at the Austen Riggs Center. Teaching this seminar meant a lot to me personally, and I am making the syllabus available publicly to provide a resource for other people looking to teach or learn about trans identities in psychoanalysis.

Contemporary Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Addiction

Psychoanalysis has somewhat neglected the study of substance use disorders—frequently seeing them as a symptom of “the real problem” and hence not attending closely to addiction and substance use in and of themselves. This post documents a syllabus for a postgraduate seminar I taught on contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives on addiction.
