Special Topics in Couples and Sex Therapy: Couples Therapy with LGBTQ+ Populations, Working with Polyamory, and Addressing Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior
There are a number of empirically-supported couples therapy modalities that provide important guidelines for how to conduct couples therapy. Despite couples therapy training, clinicians can find it challenging to navigate how to apply theoretical frameworks and interventions to specific patient populations or presentations. Even more challenging still is the ability to successfully integrate addressing and treating problematic sexual concerns and dynamics within the context of relationship therapy. In this workshop, presenters will discuss treating LGBTQ+ couples, working with polyamory in relationship therapy, and exploring what has been termed "sex addiction" or "out-of-control sexual behavior" by addressing the literature, providing specific intervention recommendations, and discussing case examples for each of the three special topic areas.

Learning Objectives: 
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1.  identify 3 strategies for navigating non-monogamous relationships.
2.  identify 2 treatment considerations when working with LGBTQ+ couples.
3.  identify 2 alternative models for conceptualizing and treating sex addiction.
