FACING SEXUALITY
Working psychoanalytically with the sexual fantasies, desires and fears of our patients

Working psychoanalytically with the sexual fantasies, desires and fears of our patients
A ONE-DAY SEMINAR LED BY PROFESSOR BRETT KAHR
SATURDAY 1 OCTOBER 2011
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Although members of the general public believe that psychotherapists attribute all psychological difficulties to sexual causes, most psychotherapists and counsellors struggle greatly in their efforts to talk with patients and clients about intimate sexual matters in a professional manner, without being intrusive, excited, or avoidant.
In this special one-day workshop, Professor Brett Kahr, one of England’s most eminent couple psychotherapists and Chair of the British Society of Couple Psychotherapists and Counsellors at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships will provide three clinical seminars about the many faces of sexuality, ranging from masturbatory fantasies to erotomaniacal cyber-stalking, exploring how clinicians can better understand sexual issues, and become more ordinarily comfortable working with sexual matters in the consulting room.
