Sexual health research and knowledge is an untapped resource for group therapists to improve treatment outcomes. After a brief review of sexual health definitions and principles, Mr. Braun-Harvey will utilize demonstration group work to integrate three fundamental functions for leaders of sexual health based group work. Participants will learn leader facilitation skills that support group exploration of sexual pleasure, arousal, and desire while mitigating therapist and group member defenses and fears associated with honest and vulnerable disclosure of sexual history, behavior, and feelings. Six principles of sexual health will be illustrated with clinical examples and case discussion.
