Overview
The Integrative Sex and Couples Therapy (ISCT) curriculum provides forward looking training that addresses the emerging field of relational psychotherapy. In the respective fields of couples therapy and sex therapy, the clinician has had little if any training in the other's, thereby creating a void. Even those trained separately in both areas are seeking a means to unify their skill set. Given the relational nature of these disciplines, it is imperative for the contemporary practitioner to bring a proficient level of expertise that offers a complete integrative perspective to their clients. The ISCT program accomplishes this by assuring the mastery of well established couples therapy techniques along with traditional sex therapy theory and practices and then adds uniquely designed integrative courses. Upon completing this next phase of evolutive training, clinicians and counselors will obtain the Certified Sex and Couples Therapist (CSCT) designation.
There are three levels of direct clinical training in the ISCT curriculum to earn your CSCT designation:
Level One: Sex Therapy; Healing the Sexual Space (L1)
Level Two: Couples Therapy; Relating in Relationship (L2)
Level Three: Integrative Therapy; Alternative Interventions (L3)
Within each Level there are respective Areas as follows:
Level One – Sex Therapy; Healing the Sexual Space (L1)
A - Foundations of the Sexual Space
B - Applying Sexology
C - Sexual Empathy and Understanding
D - Sexual Interventions and Tools
Level Two – Couples Therapy; Relating in Relationship (L2)
A - Fundamentals of Couples therapy
B - Alternative Relationship Structures
C - Reflective Dialogue
Level Three – Integrative Therapy; Alternative Interventions (L3)
A - Visions for the future
B - Using Integrative therapy
C - Alternative treatments
Note: Students need a minimum of 5 clock hour units (a.k.a. CEs) in each Area of each Level

Requirements
Earning the CSCT designation can be accomplished through several different paths depending on the student's prior training. Our core study track has been designed for those students looking to obtain the CSCT while pursuing their AASECT Certified Sex Therapist* (CST) and includes the required SAR (Sexual Attitude Reassessment). We have also developed a range of study tracks to accommodate students with no prior certified training to those with multiple certifications. In all cases, to earn the CSCT designation, every student must complete the required 15 clock hours of integrative coursework.
