We are honoured to invite you to our online seminar with Tracy Sidesinger, PsyD.

In both developmental psychology and psychoanalysis, emphasis on the mother has tended to be about scrutiny of the mother as an attachment object. Mother-infant observation and relational psychology have helped bring maternal subjectivity into view.
Our seminar will begin with a feminist-critical review of this history. Then, we will consider ways of listening for mothering identities and maternal subjectivity across the lifespan of adult clients. We will attune to clients’ histories with fertility, pregnancy, mothering, abortion, and changing bodies. While the main emphasis is on female-identified clients, listening for maternal subjectivity has implications across genders that will be useful for all clinicians.
