How to Integrate Sex Therapy into Your Psychoanalytic Practice: With a Focus on Difficulties with Low Desire

2 CE credits

Presenter:

Wendy E. Miller, PhD

About the event:

Working as a sex therapist requires a certain amount of active participation on the part of the therapist. This stance can sometimes feel in conflict with working psychoanalytically. In addition, not knowing how and when to actively pursue clinical material about sex and what to do with it once you get it can also feel daunting to many psychoanalysts who are often under-trained in the concrete steps needed to help an individual or couple who is struggling sexually. This workshop will teach you how to invite and make use of sexual material and how to balance deep psychic exploration with actual, detailed understanding of clients’ sexual lives.
