ABSTRACT
An integrative model for treating sexual desire disorders was developed from the original work of the Masters and Johnson Institute, where the authors were on staff for many years.
Sensual focus exercises and psycho-education were combined with couples therapy to address relationship conflicts, as well as individual trauma, dissociation, and attachment disorders.
In this webinar, the focus will be on more contemporary clinical presentations of sexual abuse survivors struggling with sexual arousal difficulties, compounded with disorganized attachment and fears related to intimacy.
We will discuss use of the co-therapy model with couples, wherein individual therapy with the partner in the room is used in conjunction with Internal Family Systems to work with dissociative parts stuck in the past and functioning as blocks to intimacy (devised by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.).
The primary focus in these sessions is creating sufficient safety and connection between the couple in order to allow sexual arousal to unfold.

WEBINAR GOALS & LEARNINGS
- To outline a couples-therapy approach, integrating interpersonal and intra-psychic affect-based interventions.
- To outline an alternative model, integrating traditional cognitive behavioral and object relations approaches with contemporary attachment and trauma-based approaches to couples therapy.
- To present a unique and updated adaptation of Masters and Johnson’s model of sex therapy to the treatment of desire-phase disorders, following early sexual abuse.
