Clinton Powers Interviews Doug Braun-Harvey and Michael Vigorito

A new video interview of Doug Braun-Harvey and Michael Vigorito on their sexual health approach to working with men concerned with out of control sexual behavior is an excellent 45 minute curriculum resource for undergraduate and graduate classrooms.  Sydney Australia relationship counselor Clinton Power interviews the authors on their book “Treating Out of Control Sexual Behavior: Rethinking Sex Addiction” and guides the discussion to address the development, implementation and key concepts for therapists interested in collaborating with clients to define and live their personal vision of sexual health. I encourage educators to review the interview as a new educational resource to engage students in exploring sexual health principles as a framework for responding to men concerned about their sexual behavior.
