From Antiquity to Modernity: A History of Psychosexual Therapy examines how ideas about sex, sexuality, and treatment have been shaped over time by culture, philosophy, medicine, and morality. The course traces the field’s roots from ancient Greek and Roman theories of bodily balance and virtue, through the influence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in moralizing and regulating desire, and into the early modern and Victorian eras of reform, regulation, and scientific inquiry. Students will also engage with global perspectives, exploring non-Western understandings of sexuality that complicate and challenge Eurocentric models. By situating psychosexual therapy within its broader historical context, the course equips learners with a deeper appreciation of the cultural legacies that continue to shape contemporary approaches to sexual health and clinical practice.
