Sex Therapy: Core Skills for Clinicians

In this course, Anisa Varasteh, clinical sexologist and President, Society of Australian Sexologists, places human sexuality within a holistic perspective of general wellbeing, yet notes that, while clients and clinicians alike acknowledge this, many are uncomfortable talking about the topic. Outlining the consequences that accrue from this discomfort, and/or from clinician biases about sex, Varasteh advocates for an open, non-judgmental communication style regarding sexual health and discusses practical techniques to address common problems seen in session, such as sexual desire discrepancies.
