Some couple therapists feel unprepared to delve into sexual issues because they have not had sufficient training in human sexuality and don’t know how to integrate sexuality into couple psychotherapy.
- How does one raise the topic of sexuality if the couple doesn’t?
- What is the proper timing?
- How does one conduct assessment and develop a treatment frame to work on sexuality?
This workshop will describe expansive models of sexual response, offer guidelines for conducting a sexual history, and outline steps toward co-creating sexual frames that integrate new approaches to standard sex therapy techniques, systemic couple thinking and psychodynamic formulations.
At the conclusion of the conference, attendees will be able to:
1. Identify major models of the human sexual response cycle.
2. Explain how to formulate expansive therapeutic frames to treat sexual issues in psychodynamic couple psychotherapy.
3. Describe new approaches to standard sex therapy techniques.
This conference is appropriate for mental health professionals at all levels of experience and offers 3 CEs.
