This presentation explores how the framework of neuroqueering—a concept rooted in neurodiversity and queer theory—invites a radical reconsideration of foundational psychoanalytic concepts such as identity, subjectivity, normativity, and development. By centering lived experiences of neurodivergent and queer individuals, this talk interrogates the implicit assumptions of the analytic frame and challenges psychoanalysis to reexamine its historical investments in normative development, binary gender theory, and the medicalization of difference.

Drawing on clinical material, literary theory, and contemporary scholarship, the speaker will propose a reorientation of psychoanalytic thinking that embraces multiplicity, nonlinearity, and neurodivergent epistemologies. The discussant will offer reflections on clinical implications, including how neuroqueering perspectives may reshape our understanding of transference, diagnosis, and therapeutic goals.

This session aims to provoke rich interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersection of psychoanalysis, disability studies, queer theory, and contemporary clinical practice.
