If It Isn't S*x Addiction, What Is It? And How Do You Treat It?

📌Dr. Marty Klein has been an MFT and Certified S*x Therapist working with individuals and couples for over 40 years. Marty is the award-winning author of 7 books about s*xuality, including "S*xual Intelligence" and "His P**n, Her Pain." A former instructor at Stanford Medical School, he has been an invited Master Presenter at 11 state CAMFT conferences.
He recently gave two Congressional briefings on evidence-based s*x education.

➡️ Abstract: Problematic s*xual decision-making has many sources, including biological dysfunction, mental health conditions, individual s*xual development, issues within the relationship, and conflicts arising from cultural factors. The label of "s*x addiction" lacks diagnostic and treatment specificity, brings cultural bias, and risks disempowering patients and harming marriages. This program will cover best practices for diagnosing and treating patients with problematic s*xual decision-making.
