Abstract

Abstract On Being a Male Analyst: The Reluctant Discovery of a Troublesome Goldmine. Int Forum Psychoanal 1992; 1:20-28. ISSN 0803-706X This autobiographical account of the experiences of the author, a male psychoanalyst, focuses on aspects of his work relevant to his masculine identity. A distinction is made between sexual identity and gender identity. The former refers to biological attributes of maleness and the latter to psychological characteristics acquired in the course of socialization. While no definitive conclusions can be drawn from this single case, the account is intended to suggest hypotheses for future investigation.
