The Vanderbilt community is invited to a panel discussion Thursday, Feb. 22, titled “Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Four Perspectives.”
Moderated by Volney Gay, professor of religious studies, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, the discussion runs from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Luton Conference Room of Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital, 1601 23rd Ave. S. A reception precedes the event from 6:30 to 7 p.m.
The panel will address issues of sexual harassment in the workplace from four perspectives: an attorney who has expertise in sexual harassment, two psychoanalysts who have treated victims and perpetrators of sexual harassment, and a psychiatrist who works with impaired medical professionals. The goal is to explore individual and systemic factors that cause sexual harassment and ways to decrease its frequency.
Panel members:
- Barbara Moss, attorney at law and founder of Elder Law of Nashville
- Dr. Tom Campbell, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice; training and supervising analyst and faculty member of the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute and Nashville APP program
- Marsha Robertson, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice; training and supervising analyst and faculty member of the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute and Nashville APP program
- Dr. Reid Finlayson, associate professor of clinical psychiatry and behavioral sciences in the Vanderbilt School of Medicine; associate of the Vanderbilt Comprehensive Assessment Program and the Vanderbilt Faculty and Physician Wellness Program’s Center for Professional Excellence/Journey Pure
Moderator Volney Gay also is a supervising and training analyst for the St. Louis Psychoanalysis Institute.
Learning objectives:
By the end of the panel discussion, attendees will:
- Integrate the behavioral and personality factors that contribute to sexual harassment;
- Appreciate the role of the “third” in the sexual harassment dyad; and
- Understand better how the legal system and professional boards adjudicate allegations of sexual harassment.
