This talk will be loosely based on Bob’s chapter in ‘Jung’s Shadow Concept’, edited by Christopher Perry and Rupert Tower. He will outline a way of conceptualising gender dysphoria that integrates Winnicott’s approach to the mind body relationship with Jung’s shadow concept. Bob will argue that gender dysphoria can be conceptualised as a dissociation between a disembodied mind, with which the person identifies, and shadow aspects of the self which are projected into the body.
