Date: 2016-03-25

This workshop will outline living with a queer identity, its affordances and constraints as compared to other sexual identities. It will briefly explain Queer theory, a postmodern and social constructionist theory that relates to sexual and gender diversity. Different issues for therapists to consider when working with queer people and relationships will be explored; including how people produce queer selfhood and the conflicts this might bring, intersectional identities, issues of belonging, possible struggles and sources of strength and resilience. Queer-inclusive therapeutic practices will also be briefly touched on
