The Sexually Well-Informed Clinician: Principles and Practices of Sex Therapy

Title of Event: The Sexually Well-Informed Clinician: Principles and Practices of Sex Therapy
 
 
Description of Event:
This workshop will survey the history of sex therapy and delineate models of human sexual response; it will address therapist self-location when dealing with both heterosexual and LGBTQ sexual issues and cover assessment of sexual concerns and case formulation: how to take a sexual history, conduct a sex-script analysis and use validated scales and measures to diagnose sex issues. Therapeutic interventions will be covered, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, psychoeducational, and pharmacological approaches. We will address common sex problems, including desire, arousal and orgasm issues.  We will be paying close attention to the development and deepening of the therapeutic alliance and the processing of clinical material that happens both in the room and in between sessions through homework assignments. Case studies will be regularly referenced and discussed.
