Fifty shades of gender? — Love and sexuality in our fluid society

The gender and non-binary issues in many of our current patients seem to reflect a constantly changing social and cultural discourse. Have the fundamental rules of life changed? Are we psychoanalysts trapped in a normative, binary thinking and are our theories alienated from the current clinic? Are we in urgent need of new psychoanalytic concepts? The author examines these questions from her own clinical experience and also inspired by the work of Joyce McDougall. Hereby she tries to (re)think the concept of psychic bisexuality.
