Presenter:
Jason Wheeler, PhD
CME and Social Work CE Available
(1.5 credits)
Note: this presentation includes explicit sexual language, and the representation of p*rnography in adult cartoon form that is rated M for Mature.
P*rnography affects many people in therapy and analysis, directly or indirectly. For some it can be a shameful addiction and a main focus of treatment, for others a welcome part of a satisfying sexual life, and anywhere in between. Clinicians can struggle with countertransference reactions to p*rnography and lack a clear framework for working with this material. The role of fantasies, conscious and unconscious, realistic and impossible, is particularly emphasized in this discussion and in how to work effectively with issues related to p*rnography. The presentation includes some excerpts from the adult cartoon TV series, Big Mouth (Netflix), which illustrate some of these issues. Some typical clinical examples are also discussed.
