SEXUAL DEPENDENCY SYNDROME - a teleclass

********************************************************************************************* SEXUAL DEPENDENCY SYNDROME

A four part teleclass

With Joe Kort and Tammy Nelson

What would you do with Tiger?

If you were treating Tiger Woods and his wife, would you have the tools to help?

There are many reasons someone experiences hypersexuality. The term Sexual Dependency Syndrome (SDS) allows for all the possibilities, including sexual addiction. Sexual fantasies and desires are the erotic code underlying addiction. Learn how to make a differential diagnosis, provide accurate and empathetic treatment for the patient and their partner, and examine your own countertransference which often interferes with treating sexually disordered patients.

The New Monogamy: Desire and Fidelity in the New Millennium

Tammy Nelson

Therapists today report seeing an increasing number of committed couples, one or both of whom have outside sexual partners. Often neither partner wants to separate and both appear willing to negotiate monogamy in new ways, redefining fidelity. 422 - What’s So Bad about Porn?: Helping Couples in Conflict about the Use of Pornography

and

Depathologizing Porn

Tammy Nelson and Joe Kort

Even though Internet porn has become ubiquitous in our society, many of us (including therapists) still tend to view its use as a symptom of sexual addiction or deviancy, a form of marital infidelity, and/or a serious threat to the relationship. But there are multiple reasons that people use porn, and it can have many meanings.
