Class 1

9:30 AM - 11:30 AM EST

Recreating The Culture In The Sex Therapy Room: The Power Of Culture! - A Cultural Competence Workshop

This presentation proposes an innovative paradigm shift in sex therapy by emphasizing the essential role of culture in understanding and treating sexual dysfunction. Traditionally, therapy has focused primarily on symptom relief rather than exploring the deeper, subjective, and culturally influenced meanings clients attach to sexuality. Culture, often viewed as a barrier, should instead be seen as a potential resource for healing. Through a tripartite model the presentation highlights how therapists can help clients explore the influence of their cultural systems, find personal meaning in their experiences, and reconstruct empowering narratives about their sexuality.

The presentation is structured around a detailed case vignette and how therapists can guide patients through the tripodal model. The presentation concludes that culture should not be dismissed as a source of dysfunction but integrated as a strength within therapy. This culturally inclusive model encourages clinicians to treat patients holistically, addressing biological, psychological, and social dimensions to foster authentic, long-term well-being rather than temporary symptom relief.

Are Digital Interventions the Next Frontier in Sex Therapy? A Facilitated Group Discussion

Digital technologies are rapidly transforming the landscape of psychological and sexual health interventions. In their 2023 study, Vowels and Sever explored public attitudes toward digital sex therapy—examining both enthusiasm for accessibility, privacy, and reduced stigma, and skepticism regarding effectiveness, personalization, and trust. Using a mixed-methods approach, the researchers found that while digital interventions may address long-standing barriers to sexual health care, they also introduce new challenges related to user engagement, data security, and the perceived loss of human connection.

This Facilitated Group Discussion invites participants to reflect on the study’s findings and their

implications for the future of clinical practice. We will explore questions such as:

● What role can digital interventions play in expanding access to sex therapy?

● How might clinicians maintain therapeutic depth and ethical standards in digital

formats?

● What barriers must be addressed to make these tools viable and trustworthy for

patients?

Attendees are encouraged to read the article in advance and come prepared to share insights, experiences, and critiques related to integrating digital platforms into psychosexual therapy practice.
