Jan. 21st, 2017 at noon
The largest certifying board for Sexual Health (AASECT) recently announced the rejection of the concept and treatment of "Sex Addiction."
Let's learn why together...
Join us in Austin for a Sexceptional Class to learn the latest research and surprising findings on "Sex Addiction." We will learn about the wonderful alternative to treating out of control sexual behavior (OCSB). This two hour class will provide a forum for expansive dialogue and discussion about the recently published book "Treating Out of Control Sexual Behavior: Rethinking Sex Addiction" by Doug Braun-Harvey and Michael Vigorito (2016).
Doug Braun-Harvey’s innovative OCSB treatment model, based on over 20 years of clinical experience (co-developed with Michael Vigorito), combines extensive clinical practice with science and research from sexual health, human behavior, motivational change, attachment, self-regulation and eroticism within a combined individual and group therapy treatment model. The collaborative client/therapist treatment relationship is founded on the principle of men taking responsibility for defining and integrating their personal sexual health vision.
