Principles and Practice of Sex Therapy

The authors of this chapter offer a comprehensive review of the growing and often contentious literature regarding etiology and treatment and ultimately recommend a non-pathology-based paradigm for assessment and intervention of OCSB. In this chapter they detail an assessment approach that allows for the design of “individualized, ethical, and effective treatment strategies.” 

The Sex Issue

Michael Vigorito and Doug Braun-Harvey in conversation with the editors of Goop discuss “sex addiction: what’s behind the label? to introduce their sexual health approach to understanding out of control sexual behavior, how to assess when someone may need help with managing their sexual behavior and understanding what a couple may experience when sexual relationship agreements are not maintained by one or both partners. 

The Art of Sex Therapy Supervision

Doug Braun-Harvey highlights how current sex therapy and supervision literature has not conceptualized sex therapy group supervision or differentiated sex therapy supervision in a group setting from existing methods for individual sex therapy supervision. He proposes a conceptual model for Sex Therapy Group Supervision (STGS) that integrates client sexuality and group process within sex therapy supervision groups.
