Online: Talking About Sex

2 CE credits for licensed psychoanalysts and social workers

Fees:  Practitioners:  $80  |  Students:  Free

Registration is closed.

Description: When sex becomes an issue in treatment, it can provoke strong countertransference
reactions. Talking about sex can bring up a variety of uncomfortable feelings in the therapist, including
shame, fear, disgust, anxiety, attraction, and arousal. This workshop will address the therapist’s
response to sexual issues from both modern psychoanalytic and sex therapy perspectives and aims to
increase both knowledge of and comfort with working with sex and sexuality in treatment.

Learning Objectives:  Participants will be able to (1) describe common sexual problems that present in treatment and interventions appropriate to addressing them and (2) describe common countertransference reactions that arise in response to sexual material.

Presenter:  Juliane Maxwald is a psychoanalyst with extensive experience in individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, and sex therapy.  She is in private practice in Manhattan and Long Island City, Queens.
