Long abstractClinical Encounters in Sexuality makes an intervention into the fields of clinical psychoanalysis and sexuality studies, in an ef-fort to think about a range of issues relating to sexuality2 from a clinical psychoanalytic perspective. This book concentrates on a number of concepts, namely identity, desire, pleasure, perver-sion, ethics, and discourse. Eve Watson and I have chosen queer theory, a sub-field of sexuality studies, as an interlocutor for the clinical contributors, because it is at the forefront of theoretical considerations of sexuality, as well as being both reliant upon and suspicious of psychoanalysis as a clinical practice and dis-course. The book brings together a number of psychoanalytic schools of thought and clinical approaches, which are some-times at odds with one another and thus tend not to engage in dialogue about divisive theoretical concepts and matters of clin-ical technique. Traditions represented here include: Freudian, Kleinian, Independent, Lacanian, Jungian, and Relational. We also stage, for the first time, a sustained clinical psychoanalytic engagement with queer theory. By virtue of its editorial design, this book aims to foster a self-reflective attitude in readers about sexuality which historically has tended toward reification, par-ticularly in clinical practice.
