Title
Rethinking Sex Addiction- An Introduction to a Sexual Health Approach

Presented By

Michael Vigorito, LMFT, LCPC, CGP

Sexual Health Psychotherapist, Integrative Counseling Services

Description

Scientific consensus has not coalesced around one diagnostic criteria or etiological mechanism for sexual dysregulation.  An integrative psychotherapeutic approach is needed to comprehensively address the variety of factors that contribute to out of control sexual experiences.  Michael Vigorito co-developed the OCSB Clinical Pathway (with Douglas Braun-Harvey) to guide providers in assessing and treating men concerned about problematic and out of control sexual behavior.  The workshop is an introduction to their comprehensive treatment protocol and offer sexual health interventions applicable for mental health and substance abuse treatment providers.

1. To apply sexual health principles for treating sexual behavior problems and out of control sexual behavior
2. To describe a non-pathological conceptualization for out of control sexual behavior.
