Group Treatment of Hypersexuality – Problematic Pornography Use/Masturbation
$105.00
3 CE Hours
Presenter: Kate Sutton, Ph.D.
Description:
This course is designed to share a group treatment approach for a specific subtype of hypersexuality. The treatment has been designed for men who experience problems with the frequency of their pornography use and/or masturbation. These problems can manifest in various ways, loss of productivity (including missed time from work), termination or repercussions for using pornography at work, problems with a significant other, loss of hobbies or friendships due to amount of time spent on pornography. This group is not designed for men who have spiritual or moral problems around minimal use or whose partners’ deem pornography use to be problematic in the absence of more objective problems with frequency of use. The group may also be effective for men who engage in chronic adultery, particularly if that adultery is through online chats or webcams; however, it was not specifically designed with these individuals in mind. While the group is based more in addressing frequency, as opposed to content problems, individuals with and without paraphilic interests are welcome in the group. Content can also be altered to use in individual therapy.
Learning Objectives:
Explain reasons behind problematic frequency of pornography use and/or masturbation
Discuss the treatment manual and implementation of the 12 sessions
Describe skills in assessing and discussing differences in problematic frequency versus problematic content
