The Science & More talks take place more or less bi-weekly as work-in-progress seminars featuring talks by the project members, other UniTO researchers or guests from outside Turin. They take about 60 minutes, discussion included, and are followed/preceded by a joint lunch. Everybody is welcome! For more information, feel free to write to [email protected].
Upcoming Talks
Wednesday 19 June, 12:00-13:00, Aula T.22, Via Sant'Ottavio 54 Cristina Amoretti (University of Genoa) Biases and Values in Psychiatry: The Case of Gender Dysphoria
Gender dysphoria (GD) is a diagnostic category introduced for the first time in the DSM-5. Generally speaking, it is characterized by a marked incongruence between an individual's experienced or expressed gender and their assigned gender. This talk will explore the impact of biases, particularly gender bias, and evaluative judgments on the individual diagnostic criteria of GD, the overall diagnostic plausibility of this category, and the associated therapeutic approaches. My aim is to argue that biases and values influence psychiatric assessments differently, emphasizing that a value-based decision is not necessarily a biased one.
