Course Description:
This course is designed to increase our personal and professional awareness about the
topic of human sexuality. This course provides information and perspective to future
therapists regarding biological, developmental, behavioral, emotional, and cultural
aspects of human sexuality. Appropriate clinical interventions from a systemic
perspective will be addressed.
Reading materials, classroom experiences and discussions are used to augment student’s
knowledge of human sexual functioning, both potential and problematic, and to expand
student’s comfort with their future role as therapists to couples and individuals. Students
will be encouraged to explore their own sexual history and how it affects their ability to
form therapeutic relationships. In addition, there will be many opportunities for students
to confront and share their attitudes, thoughts and values as related to human sexuality.
The content of this course is, of course, provocative. We will need to conduct ourselves
with poise and respectful confidence as we research and investigate the nuances of sexual
interaction.
 Please note: there will be sexually explicit material/film shown in this class!
Goals and Objectives:
Personal and Professional Growth:
 Develop an awareness of the impact of sexual issues on clients and their
relationships.
 Develop an awareness of personal narratives about sexual issues.
 Develop a personal style of counseling families with sexual issues.
 Integrate personal and professional knowledge base of counseling families with
sexual issues to become a more effective family counselor, who can understand
and address families and family members’ sexual issues across differing ages,
2
gender, personal characteristics, traits, capabilities, and life circumstances.
Professional Knowledge, Skills, and Strategies:
 Enhance conceptualization skills of sexual issues operating in families.
 Enhance skills in the application of concept to therapeutic situations and
interventions.

relationships.

Student Responsibilities:
Your job is to attend class ON TIME and be prepared. There will be discussion groups
and in a small way, your grade depends upon you having a dialogue with the rest of your
group. There is absolutely no substitute for the classroom experience. When you miss
class, you miss class material, which cannot be had except by being in class. Therefore,
your final grade may be affected by your absences.
 Please do not use your cell phone in class. If you need to use it, please step
outside of the classroom.
UNR’s Policy on Academic Dishonesty:
Anyone caught cheating, in any way, as defined by the University code – whether
confronted during the act, through comparative analysis or acquired evidence, will be
automatically dismissed from the course and given a course letter grade of an “F”. If the
infraction is considered severe, action may also be taken at the university level.
A Note on Plagiarism: Plagiarism (copying all or part of someone else's work and
passing it off as your own) is a serious form of academic misconduct and will not be
tolerated in this class. The following definitions and possible courses of action are taken
from the Academic Standards section of the university catalog:
Academic dishonesty is defined as: cheating, plagiarism or otherwise obtaining grades
under false pretenses. Plagiarism is defined as submitting the language, ideas, thoughts or
work of another as one's own; or assisting in the act of plagiarism by allowing one's work
to be used in this fashion. Disciplinary procedures for incidents of academic dishonesty
may involve both academic action and administrative action for behavior against the
campus regulations of student conduct.
"The work of another" does not just mean whole papers or articles copied from another
source. It includes any information, ideas, sentences, or phrases that came from
somewhere other than your own head (i.e. books, articles, internet sites, videos,
documents, lecture notes or handouts from other courses, and any other sources used in
your paper). These must be properly acknowledged by providing references either in the
text or in a footnote, along with a bibliography giving the complete publication
information for all sources used in your paper. Even if you paraphrase someone else's
ideas and do not quote them directly, you still must acknowledge your source. Citations
should also be given for little known facts and statistics. Ignorance is not an excuse for
plagiarism. If you are not sure whether you need to provide a source for a piece of
information or how to cite a source, ask me.
Audio/Video Recording Classes:
Surreptitious or covert videotaping of class or unauthorized audio recording of class is
prohibited by law and by Board of Regents policy. This class may be videotaped or
audio recorded only with the written permission of the instructor. In order to
accommodate students with disabilities, some students may have been given permission
4
to record class lectures and discussions. Therefore, students should understand that their
comments during class may be recorded.
Academic Success Services:
Your student fees cover usage of the Math Center (784-4433 or
www.unr.edu/mathcenter/), Tutoring Center (784-6801 or www.unr.edu/tutoring/) and
University Writing Center (784-6030 or www.unr.edu/writing_center/. These centers
support your classroom learning; it is your responsibility to take advantage of their
services. Keep in mind that seeking help outside of class is the sign of a responsible and
successful student. If I ask you to seek help at the writing center, I expect you to do so.
Accommodations for Student Disabilities:
If you have a special need due to a disability (physical, learning, psychological), please
be sure to let me know as soon as possible. Please coordinate with the Disability
Resource Center and/or Counseling Services to get the assistance and documentation you
need.

If you are an athlete and /or student involved in competition or other activities that take
you away from class this semester you will need to provide us with official
documentation from your coach, the athletic department, or other party of your schedule
and any class sessions that you may miss. We need to know which classes you are

you miss. There will be no late assignments or make-up tests. This means you will
need to turn in assignments ahead of time if necessary.

Assignments
If your paper is full of grammar, spelling syntax, and APA errors it will not be
graded. Your paper will be handed back to you with the option of re-doing it and
making the suggested the corrections. You will not lose points for re-doing the
paper; you will lose points for not making the corrections. I am also more than
happy to meet before class to answer any questions that you may have!!!
Participation: 100 points:
A total of 100 points are possible for participation in class sessions. At the end of each
class, you will turn in a 3 x 5 index card (which I supply) with your name, date, and you
may be asked what you took away from the class or 2 questions you had based upon what
you heard in class. Sometimes, you will be asked to rate each of your group member’s
participation. These will be counted and used for class attendance. They will be reviewed
and you will get either a “+” or a “-“.
Class Material Reaction Papers 10 @ 10 points each = 100 points total
At the beginning of every class, you will need to turn in a 1-2 page typed and doublespaced reaction paper on the material we covered in the class the day before. Please DO
NOT summarize what we covered in class. I am looking for how the material affected
you on an emotional level and how or why you believe it is important in our profession. I
HIGHLY suggest that you look at page 16 “processing questions” at the end of this
syllabus to help you write these papers.
On June 5th you have the opportunity to earn 10 extra credit points through handing in a
1-2 page paper that discusses your overall thoughts about the course.
**If you cite any of the readings or other materials, follow APA guidelines.
Chapter Presentation: 50 points
Each student in this course will be responsible for giving a power point presentation on
his/her assigned chapter from the textbook Kelinplatz, P. J. (Ed.). (2012). New directions
in sex therapy: Innovations and alternatives (2nd ed.). New York, NY: Routledge Taylor
& Francis Group. Please see the attached schedule for your presentation date and the

each category on the rubric while preparing your presentation!!
Shame Assignment: 100 points due June 2

period. http://www.foxsearchlight.com/trailer/148/trailer/
"Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but
feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister
6
(Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past,
Brandon's insular life spirals out of control."
3) Be sure to do the readings listed for May 28/29. You will analyze the main character
of the movie, "Shame" through the readings. We will discuss this assignment in more
detail on May 28, where you will be given detailed instructions and a grading rubric.
4) Follow the APA guidelines for this assignment.
The Sexual Genogram: 100 points due June 4
First, read the following journal articles, which are listed under the May 20 readings:
Bowen Family Systems Therapy and Revisiting the Sexual Genogram
Completing a sexual genogram (Hof & Berman, 1986; Berman & Hof, 1987) is useful in
exploring intergenerational themes, patterns, and events that may have affected a
person’s sexuality. The basic structure of the genogram remains the same (McGoldrick,
Gerson, & Shellenberger, 1999), but the focus of the information is on identifying the
following information: people who were either sex-positive or sex-negative; people who
talked to you about sex; who in your family is heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual;
sexual secrets that have been kept in the past or are currently being kept; miscarriages or
abortions; and any other critical events related to sexuality (e.g., rape, sexual abuse,
trauma, addiction). Once this information is collected, careful reflection on how this has
affected your thoughts and feelings about sexuality helps to understand where your
strengths and challenges may be.
1.Construct a skeletal structure of your Sexual Genogram including the basic components
of your family and relational system (refer to above readings).
2.Answer the reflection questions in appendix B listed in Revisiting the Sexual Genogram
(you do not have to turn these in). Add the sexuality information to your genogram.
3.Process your resulting diagram; it’s meaning, and its impact on your life thus far.
Additionally, answer the following questions:
4.Would you consider your family to be "sex positive," "sex negative," or "sex neutral?"
How does your answer affect your sexuality today?
5a. Differentiation: read about it here
http://www.thebowencenter.org/pages/conceptds.htmland we will discuss this question in
class more.
5b.Are there any members of your extended family whom you are cut off, and if so, is
this situation part of a triangle?
6. If you cite any of the readings or other materials, follow APA guidelines.

Erotic Mind Journal 100 points due June 5
“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other
people.” ~ Carl Jung
As future therapists, you will be expected to be comfortable speaking with your clients
about their sexuality. Awareness of your own sexuality is vital - what are your biases,
judgments, and values? If you are not comfortable discussing your own sexuality, is it
possible to have a comfortable conversation with your client about theirs? Jack Morin
wrote The Erotic Mind in order for people to explore these very issues.
Jack Morin compassionately invites you readers to explore your erotic side, and offers
non-judgmental support page after page. In order to fully experience what this book has
to offer, Morin asks you to keep an erotic journal (please refer to page 25 in the book to
get started on the journal). He poses questions throughout the book that will challenge
you to delve deep inside your mind; to remember your own peak erotic experiences.
Please answer his questions in your journal every time that you read one. A Sexual
Excitement Survey, developed by Morin himself, asks numerous questions regarding
these experiences. The survey sets the stage, as you can look back at their answers and
recognize recurring themes or patterns in your erotic mind.
I am NOT collecting your journals. I would like you to bring your journal to class on
June 6th and just show me that you actually did it. Remember, you will only get out as
much as you put in to this.
