We are in the aftershock and reverberation zone from last night’s eclipse and indeed from a summer of one solar-lunar event after the next. Are your ears ringing? Are you a little unsteady on your pins?<\/p>\n

Most of the people I’m talking with are just slightly frazzled (not quite as bad as after the total solar eclipse of two weeks ago); bank balances are on the low side; but we seem to have come through this unusual sequence of events in approximately one piece. We do need a little dusting off; that may be about settling down, or settling into the new routine that will inevitably arrive with the post-eclipses phase.<\/p>\n

This weekend I will be blogging from the American Psychological Association (APA) conference in Toronto, where I have been invited to present my photography, and the theory behind it. It looks like the theme of gender and sexual orientation is going to be all over this conference: the one story that broke so far involves the APA determining that it’s really not a good idea for psychologists to try to offer ‘therapy’ for people who are gay or lesbian and help them become ‘straight’. The link is included in a comment below.<\/p>\n

The APA has been dancing with the issue of queer since the mid-70s when it removed homosexuality as a mental disorder from its diagnostic manual, the DSM. Now, 35 years later, there are many movements to begin including any vague form of ‘gender dysphoria’ back into the DSM as a kind of mental disease.<\/p>\n

I’ll be following this and other issues as I can. My own presentation, called The Inner Gaze and the Inner Goddess, is Friday at 9 am. Tomorrow’s edition of Planet Waves is dedicated to the topic I will be covering.<\/p>\n
