Abstract

The Functional Sex Therapy training workshop provides clinicians with the requisite clinical tools to carry out concrete, effective and time-efficient sex therapy interventions. This advanced training is essential for all practitioners who want to become more competent when dealing with the sexual problems of their patients. The training is intended for psychologists, sexologists, general practitioner physicians, gynaecologists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, nurses, midwives, sex educators and other health professionals. It is also open to graduate students in disciplines related to the fields of health and mental health. The program consists of two four-day sessions, separated by six months. The training is conducted in the form of interactive seminars and includes theoretical content, detailed description of treatments, practical information on how to provide Functional Sex Therapy, exercises, case studies, clinical role-playing, and presentation of research supporting Functional Sex Therapy. Because of the small group interactive aspect, registration is limited to a maximum of 50 participants. Please see the website for further details.
