(HS Kerner 096155 2021) New Perspectives on Porn: Its Uses and Misuses
Tracking # 20-924286
Course overview
True or false: porn desensitizes people to genuine intimacy? Or wait: is porn use a normal, healthy expression of human sexuality? Although porn is a confusing and polarizing topic that can easily trigger therapists' negative countertransference, Americans visit more porn sites each month than they do Amazon, Netflix, and Twitter combined. Critics say that this just goes to show we're living in a "porn-addicted" society, but it's a "porn-phobic" one as well. Regardless, therapists are on the front lines of addressing the effects of porn on self-regulation and relationships. You'll discover: A CBT-based program for helping clients regulate their relationship to porn when it's problematic How to explore a client's self-diagnosis of "porn addict" A review of "ethical porn" and how it can be used to help with a range of common sexual problems
