Abstract
Through the detailed presentation and consideration of psychoanalytic work between a male analyst and female patient, this panel continues an earlier conversation (Slavin et al., 2004) on “dialogues” of sexuality in development and treatment. The present discussion focuses on the complex interaction between, on the one hand, the patient's unfinished developmental sexual and gender conflicts and struggles and, on the other, the analyst's equally gendered and sexual agency in promoting, as well as provoking, the process and outcome. Panelists and audience address the navigation of poles of seduction and growth, safety and danger, and the nature and development of sexual agency in women and men.
