Working with Sexuality in Couple Therapy (Online Presentation)
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2024 | 9:30 – 11:30 AM (Eastern)
2 CE Credits for Psychoanalysts, Psychologists, and Social Workers
This presentation will discuss how to address sexual problems in couple therapy using a narrative approach in which therapists help partners identify and transform narratives that negatively affect their erotic lives. This approach, which integrates psychodynamic and systems thinking, involves understanding the complex interrelationship among personal, social, cultural, and familial sexual narratives.
