This paper introduces the topic and unique format of the section that follows, on psychoanalytic work with transgender children. We first review the apparent impasse that characterizes our field regarding clinical work with gender diverse kids, as well as the reasons we pursued a live dialog to push thinking forward. Then, we outline the structure of the entire section, in which four contributors offer short essays, followed by a transcribed and edited version of the dialog we facilitated, which uses these essays as a starting point. We conclude with reflections on some of the themes that arise in the dialog, and implications for all of us who work in the arena of gender and young people.
本文介绍了接下来关于对跨性别儿童进行精神分析工作这一部分的主题和独特形式。我们首先回顾一下在我们这个领域中,针对性别多样化儿童的临床工作所面临的明显困境,以及我们开展现场对话以推动思考前进的原因。然后,我们概述了整个部分的结构,其中四位撰稿人提供了短文,随后是我们促成的对话的转录和编辑版本,该对话以这些短文为起点。我们最后对对话中出现的一些主题进行反思,并探讨其对我们所有从事性别与青少年领域工作的人的启示。
