Jenseits der Binarität?

Since Freud's concept of psychological bisexuality, it has been clear for psychoanalysis that every person possesses opposite-gender traits on both the psychological and physical levels. However, the current debate surrounding trans identity particularly challenges psychoanalytic thinking. How can deeply felt gender incongruence be understood without pathologization or premature affirmation? How can post-structuralist ideas and perspectives from queer studies be integrated into psychoanalytic theory and practice? Or are they already encompassed within Freud's concept of (repressed or rejected) bisexuality? What makes it so difficult for psychoanalysis to benefit from the gender discourse? The authors aim to find answers to these and other questions.
