Biography

Oren Gozlan is a psychoanalyst in Toronto and a member of the Committee for Gender and Sexuality of the IPA. His Book, Transsexuality and the Art of Transitioning (Routledge), won the American Academy & Board of Psychoanalysis’ annual book prize (2015).

'Oren Gozlan is a profoundly original and incisive psychoanalytic thinker whose work demonstrates an unparalleled ability to engage with the most complex and urgent questions of gender and sexuality. Drawing on a close reading of psychoanalytic theory, this brilliant book challenges traditional views, offering fresh conceptual tools for understanding gender in psychoanalysis, as well as a daring rethinking of gender not as identity but as a psychoanalytic event of becoming.'
