Description
Sex therapy is often practiced in conjoint/couples therapy, but many patients seek individual treatment for sexual problems. This three-hour workshop examines individual sex therapy -- its rationale, advantages, and limits. Participants will learn how to differentiate problems that can be effectively addressed in one-to-one treatment from those that require a partner’s involvement. Using case vignettes and current research, the course will explore assessment of desire and arousal disorders, performance anxiety, compulsive sexual behavior, sexual shame, religious/ethical conflicts, and the psychological sequelae of sexual trauma. We will also examine the practical barriers to working individually on relationally embedded interventions (e.g., sensate focus, graduated exposure to partnered touch, or co-constructed intimacy rituals) and discuss when referral or adjunctive couple therapy is warranted.
The course integrates symptom-focused psychosexual treatment with therapy for common comorbid issues such as trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, attachment disorders, and physical health. The course also addresses faith/spirituality, transference/countertransference, and the times when “sex therapy is just therapy.” Participants will leave with conceptual models, treatment frameworks, and criteria for pivoting toward couple work or collaborative referrals.
