Description:

 

As people are living longer, concerns about quality of life have taken on an increasingly prominent place in the lives of our patients. One of the most frequently expressed concerns/frustrations with aging is how to manage the sexual changes that naturally occur in an aging body. Such concerns have implications for both levels of self-esteem and relationship/intimacy maintenance and enhancement. This presentation will address the myriad sexual dilemmas facing our aging patients, as well as suggest strategies the practicing psychologist can employ when working with such patients.

 

 

Learning Objectives:

 

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the sexual concerns common to aging psychotherapy patients
  2. Apply treatment strategies based on an existential-humanistic treatment model
  3. Analyze the ethical conflicts presented in our current focus of treatment for this population
  4. Critique current methods of treatment, both medical and psychological
