Sexual Intelligence:
Who has sex? Why? What does it mean? What can go wrong? How can we help?
4 Consecutive Fridays During the Month of March
March 5, 2021; 1-5pm Eastern
March 12, 2021; 1-4pm Eastern
March 19, 2021; 1-5pm Eastern

For a Professional Audience
The individuals and couples we see have complex relationships with sexuality—with their bodies, their decisions, their identities & orientations, and with their experiences.
To best serve our clients, what do we need to know—about sexuality; about bodies, medications, and health issues; about decision-making; and about how to collect information about this particular individual or couple? And what do we need to understand about ourselves?
In four fast-paced, enjoyable webinars, you’ll learn the Sexual Intelligence approach to working with a wide range of issues. Topics include:
- Sexual “function” and “dysfunction”
- Kinky sex
- Infidelity
- Pornography
- Sexuality across the lifespan
You’ll learn interventions you can use immediately, with a broad range of cases. More importantly, you’ll learn a new clinical perspective—the Sexual Intelligence Approach—a blend of psychology, sociology, and attention to language that you’re going to love. You’ll even learn why it’s rarely help to tell patients they’re normal.
This course is designed to meet a portion of the education requirements for the SASH credential – General Human Sexuality Core Knowledge Areas.
Dr. Marty Klein, is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Certified Sex Therapist for 39 years—that’s over 40,000 sessions with men, women, and couples.
Marty is the award-winning author of seven books on sexuality and relationships, including the ground-breaking Sexual Intelligence. Psychology Today simply says “To improve your sex life, buy this book.” An in-demand international speaker, frequently quoted by the popular media, Marty recently gave two U.S. Congressional briefings on evidence-based sex education.
Marty was a central part of SASH’s ground-breaking panel on problematic sexual behavior at this year’s virtual annual meeting, and he also presented our successful post-conference workshop. We’ve invited him back to provide a set of skills that clinicians of all backgrounds can use with a wide range of cases. And by the way—this guy is funny!
