9:00 - 12:00 Workshop A: Understanding and Healing Love/Lust Splits
Jack Morin, Ph.D., Private Practice, San Francisco
3 hours CE*
Of all the erotic conflicts to which we humans are vulnerable, none is more vexing than a longstanding, fundamental rift between our capacities for lust and
affectionate connection. Such splits typically arise in childhood and adolescence when love and lust develop on separate tracks. Most often, a fantasy-based
lust life—reinforced with dozens or hundreds of orgasms—takes root completely outside of the context of human interaction.
Some love/lust splits are paraphilic, i.e. involving a repetitive, ritualized turn-on required for high arousal or orgasm. Others are non-paraphilic and may involve
a wider variety of turn-ons, as long as they aren't disrupted by too much closeness. Clients often bring up love/lust splits when they have begun a relationship
or fallen in love with someone and become painfully aware that sex in this context is difficult or impossible. Cultivating relational sex can be challenging
because disconnected lust is far more exciting and, therefore, arousal may come and go and orgasms may be elusive Complicating matters, those with
disconnected lust lives are often plagued by shame, low self-esteem, and a variety of other problems such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse,
loneliness, and sexual compulsivity.
In this workshop we'll focus on how clinicians can assists clients in cultivating relational sex, while also accepting the lusty turn-ons to which they will always
be attached. A combination of theory and multiple case examples will help deepen our understanding of love/lust conflicts and sharpen out clinical skills in
working with these very common erotic problems. Participants are encouraged to bring in their own case examples. However, no personal disclosure will be
required in this workshop.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the formation of a love/lust split.
2. Distinguish between paraphilic and non-paraphilic love/lust splits.
3. Name three clinical interventions for resolving a love/lust split.
1:00 - 4:00
Workshop B: BDSM and Empowerment – Guidelines for Clincians, Educators and Health Care Providers
Working with Kinky People
Olga Perez-Stable Cox, M.A., M.F.T.; Private Practice, Costa Mesa CA; Professor, Orange Coast College
3 hours CE*
A growing number of persons are participating in kinky sexual activities and exploring BDSM relationships. Most of them experience BDSM as positive, fun,
and sexually exciting. SM sex and relationships, with their inherent focus on power, provide practitioners with many experiences that lead to personal
empowerment in their lives. The BDSM/leather community is committed to education and most in the community strive to be honorable and play safely
Common misconceptions about BDSM are prevalent and interfere with the ability to provide effective non-judgmental help and services to those who practice
it. It is also important that professionals be able to identify unhealthy BDSM experiences and relationships and help clients to problem-solve.
This workshop will: provide basic information on BDSM sex and relationships; clarify the difference between SM and abuse; discuss ways BDSM is
experienced as empowering; suggest guidelines for clinicians, educators, and health care providers; provide an opportunity to meet SM practitioners; and
provide resources At the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
1. Describe basic BDSM activities and relationships
2. Clarify the difference between SM and abuse
3. List ways that BDSM is experienced as empowering
9:00 - 12:00/1:00 - 4:00
Workshop C: Sex in Psychotherapy: Sexuality, Passion, Love, and Desire in the Therapeutic
Encounter
Lawrence E. Hedges, Ph.D., ABPP, Clinical Psychology and Psychoanalysis, Orange, CA
6 hours CE*
Sex, Sexuality, Gender, Gender Identity and Sexual Diversity are daily topics in today’s clinical practice. How does the therapist position her- or himself to
listen to the many ways sex regularly presents itself—particularly in transference and countertransference?
Relational psychotherapies today recognize sexuality in both erotic and non-erotic forms to be an essential aspect of the intersubjective field in which personal
growth occurs. Spring-boarding from Foucalt’s position that sexuality is inevitably fused with interpersonal power and that sex itself is an ever-elusive myth, Dr.
Hedges will offer a series of case vignettes which pose questions for our understanding of sexuality in psychotherapy. Of special interest will be the ways sex
and gender issues interface with multicultural concerns. The day will conclude with a workshop experience in which participants will be guided in discussing in
triads some sexual encounter they have personally experienced in clinical practice.
At the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
1. To learn eight different perspectives from which to listen to issues of sex and sexuality in psychotherapy
2. To learn how the ―ethnosexual frontier‖ links sexuality and ethnicity
3. To understand how personal identity interacts with sex, gender, and sexuality
4. To learn how post-modernism and constructionism affect our understanding of sex, gender, gender identity, and sexuality
5. To learn the implications of early infant-caregivers interactions for the development of later sexuality
6. To learn how to work with sexual transference and countertransference in psychotherapy

your degree status. For people with terminal degrees, SSSS seeks CE Sponsor Approvals based on our membership and program. The CE
Page, elsewhere in this program, has more information.

CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE: If you complete the paperwork, SSSS will issue you a Certificate of Attendance for the conference program. The Certificate of Attendance is awarded, at no additional cost, for attendance only and does not imply evaluation of learning.

late for the start of a CE session will not earn CE. Contact the SSSS office for information about refunds and other CE policies.

session attendance.
