Course Description:

Several therapies are now demonstrated to harm clients. Beyond knowing therapies to avoid, we review how these iatrogenic effects were identified and the nature of the harm. Three specific harmful therapies are reviewed: anti-gay conversion therapy, porn addiction Reboot/NoFap therapy, and critical incident stress debriefing. Assessments for tracking clients to avoid harm in practice and with novel therapies are reviewed.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe Bergin’s theory of therapeutic harm
2. Identify methods for identifying harm to your clients
3. Address client distress concerning masturbation habits
4. Describe the evidence missing to support the new diagnosis of compulsive sexual behavior disorder
