Course Description

September 9, 2026 10 am – 5 pm Eastern/7 am – 2 pm Pacific (6 hrs) Wed, Sept 9 - Gail Guttman, LCSW The integration of couples’ therapy and sex therapy is no easy task. Couples therapy is a type of process therapy. The core of sex therapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy. Most couples’ therapists are taught little about sex therapy. At times, they learn that repairing the attachment wound and creating reconnection will solve the sexual problem. Some sex therapists are not schooled in couples therapy Through this presentation, we will explore an overview of the integration of couples and sex therapy. Many components of knowledge are necessary to explore this topic, such as psychodynamic theory, relational and medical issues. An understanding of the importance of sexual knowledge in order to educate our clients about healthy, positive sexual attitudes is crucial. The mainstay intervention for couples and sexuality is the skill Sensate Focus. There will be time to practice Sensate Focus.
