  Resolving Sexual Difficulties with the Crucible® Approach
Sponsored by the Marriage and Family Health Center
Presented by Ruth Morehouse, Ph. D. and Susan Regas, Ph. D.

November 7-9, 2008, Culver City, California
The purpose of this workshop is to provide information about interviewing, evaluating and conducting therapy with individuals and couples experiencing sexual difficulties. The focus will be on sexual problems that are primarily caused by emotional or systemic factors as well as understanding the psychological factors in medically caused sexual difficulties. The use of The Crucible® Approach, with its emphasis on the process of differentiation will be woven throughout different aspects of gathering information, assessment and treatment of a variety of common sexual concerns. This workshop is designed to provide an effective and exciting blend of theory, active learning experiences and case application.

This workshop may be timely for you if:

- You are a mental health professional who wants to develop more comfort, knowledge and skill when addressing sexual problems in your clients

- You are already a sex therapist but want to learn about a different model for treating sexual difficulties

- You are a medical professional wanting to extend your effectiveness in treating sexual dysfunctions

- You are a therapist familiar with the work of David Schnarch and looking for a refresher or further training in the Sexual Crucible® Approach.

The Crucible® Approach is an integrated approach to sex, intimacy and relationships. This model is based on differentiation-the ability to maintain yourself while maintaining relationships with others. The Crucible Approach differs from conventional sex therapy. Rather than emphasizing sensate focus exercises or improving communication skills, the Crucible Approach works with clients spontaneous sexual behavior as a window into people and their relationship. Clients learn how to use sexual problems to facilitate their personal growth. You can learn more by going here.
