KEYNOTES:
Dr Vikram Kolmannskog - Queering psychotherapy training and research
Psychotherapy – training, research, and practice – has a problematic past when it comes to gender and sexuality diversity. Homosexuality was a diagnosis – until 1973 in the DSM and 1990 in the ICD. The trans experience was considered a diagnosis until 2013 in the DSM and 2018 in the ICD. While most therapies today are becoming LGBT/queer-friendlier, therapists and researchers are also part of the wider societal field where there is still much bias despite rapidly changing attitudes. In this keynote I will introduce participants to intersections of queerness, therapy and research - including a study I carried out with therapy students to explore heteronormativity. We will explore what queering of psychotherapy means, why it is needed, and what it can offer to all of us, queer or straight. Hopefully, it will inspire and enable participants to better explore and address their own bias, perspectives and position.
DR VIKRAM KOLMANNSKOG is a queer-of-colour gestalt therapist, supervisor and professor at the Norwegian Gestalt Institute. Among his therapy research interests are gender and sexuality diversity; climate change and ecology; and, Buddhist and other spiritual practices, including mindfulness. Vikram also writes fiction and is the author of The Empty Chair. Tales from Gestalt Therapy (Routledge, 2018). He is based in Oslo, Norway. www.Vikram.no
Professor William B Stiles - What is the purpose of research?
I want to distinguish four alternative research purposes: theory-building, fact gathering, product-testing, and enriching. To repeat, these are purposes, not methods. You can use any research method for any of these purposes. These four are wholly different projects, trying to accomplish different things.These purposes have been called by various names, but I think you'll recognize the categories.
Presentation, followed by an interview and Q&A.
