Low desire is the most prevalent sexual dysfunction among women, and the most common reason women pursue sex therapy. Low desire cases are generally complex and require a systemic lens. This interactive program will focus on dismantling the heteronormative bias that underlies the high rates of diagnosed low desire among women. Effective interventions for individual and couples therapy will be covered.
Time will be allotted during the workshop for a case consultation. If you would like to present a case during the workshop for consultation, please fill out this form.
After attending this training, participants will be able to:
1. Define three different types of desire
2. Identify at least three variables that impact desire.
3. Identify at least two interventions that treat low desire.
