Interactive Zoom online event Saturday May 17, 2025
19:00 to 20:30 UK time (20:00 Central Europe, 11:00 California, 14:00 East Coast)
Jay Barlow and Robert Tyminski will present their Michael Fordham Prize-winning papers
‘The Umbilical’
&
‘Humanizing different archetypal expressions of gender expansiveness’
Published in the Journal of Analytical Psychology, 2024, 69(5), 827–854 and 809–826
A copy of the papers is available under the links: https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-5922.13044 and https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-5922.13041
Both papers have gender and sexual identity as their focus. Tyminski talks about ‘gender expansiveness’ and the associated challenges to sociocultural beliefs. Barlow emphasises that gender and sex, while possibly central, are not causative to trauma. Each paper includes extensive and challenging case material and Barlow uses images from the artist Louise Bourgeois to explore the early development of projective identification.
This will be the sixth event in the JAP series in which selected authors present their papers and provide the opportunity to ask questions and to enter into a discussion.
