Becoming the Men They Were Meant To Be: Helping Sexually
Abused Males
Approximately one in six boys is sexually abused before
age 16. Often males who have been sexually traumatized
and/or abused behaviorally act out homosexually—also
known as homosexual imprinting. Some of these males are
gay and most are not. Males who have been sexually abuse
are often confused as to their sexual orientation
because of the trauma. These men—both gay and
straight—re-enact the trauma through homosexual behavior
as adults. The new term for these men are MSM (Men
having sex with men). This workshop will explore how to
intervene with this population.

March 16 to 19, 2006
Washington, DC
Sex with the City: Treating Sex Addictions
While the prohibitions around discussing addiction to
alcohol and drugs have been largely lifted, the taboo
around sexual addiction is still powerful and silencing.
Yet sexual addiction and compulsivity are on the rise,
and many clients and therapists are in the dark about
how best to treat sexual acting-out behaviors. In this
workshop, you’ll learn how to assess sexual addiction
and help clients gain control over their sexual
behavior. You’ll discover how the client’s erotic love
maps, which include fantasy and ritualized behavior, can
provide the blueprint for recovery, and learn a variety
of treatment interventions for clients and their
partners. We’ll also discuss recent research on
effective medications for sexual addictions and assess
if and when you should prescribe them.
Gay-Affirmative Couples Therapy for Straight Therapists
You’re a gay-friendly couples therapist, and even though
you’re straight, you’re sensitive to homophobia and
heterosexist attitudes. So you’re able to do effective
therapy with gay and lesbian couples, right? Wrong.
Without specific training, both straight and gay couples
therapists can unintentionally harm their clients. In
this workshop, you’ll gain new understanding of the
special clinical issues, such as transference, stages of
coming out, and the connection between sexuality and
shame, involved in working with gay and lesbian couples.
Via discussion, guided imagery, and case examples,
you’ll learn about the “doubling” factor in gay and
lesbian couples, responsible nonmonogamy among gay male
couples, and loss of sexual desire among lesbian
couples. You’ll leave with specific interventions and
assessment tools that promote gay-affirmative couples
therapy.

QUEER EAR FOR THE STRAIGHT THERAPIST
The Essentials of Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy
Growing up gay can cause
developmental injuries around identity and competency,
as well as, intimacy and sexuality, which can lead to
adult relational disorders and other mental health
problems. Because psychotherapy is largely focused on
presenting symptoms, these developmental injuries are
rarely addressed in treatment.
This workshop prepares clinicians to address the
frequently overlooked developmental injuries and covert,
internalized heterosexism and homophobia symptoms of the
gay and lesbian client. An effective psychodynamic,
relational approach which affirms gay / lesbian identity
and sexuality will be presented. Clinical issues, such
as transference, stages of coming out, family and
relationship dynamics, and the connection between
sexuality and shame, will be discussed. Via discussion,
guided imagery, and case examples, the presenter will
share specific interventions and assessment tools that
promote gay - affirmative therapy.
Typically, the focus in psychotherapy is on presenting
symptoms, therefore, the developmental injuries around
identity and competency, as well as, intimacy and
sexuality of gay and lesbian clients are rarely
addressed in treatment. This workshop prepares
clinicians to address the frequently overlooked
developmental injuries and the covert internalized
heterosexism and homophobia symptoms of the gay and
lesbian client, and presents an effective psychodynamic,

Hilton Head, South Carolina
Sexual addiction and compulsivity is on the rise for men
and women, particularly with the expanding internet
bringing ease to sexual hookups and online porn. Because
of sexual shame, clients often are afraid to talk about
their sexual acting out behaviors and clinicians are not
sure what to do once the sexual behavior is reported.
This workshop will help clinicians accurately assess and
treat sexual addiction. Participants will be learn the
tools and treatment planning to help men recover from
out of control sexual behavior. The treatment planning
often involves assessing the clients erotic mapping and
ritualized sexual behavior. The secret logic of the
sexual fantasy and behavior can provide the nonsexual
map to recovery. Various modalities of therapy along
with the most recent research of effective medications
for this disorder will also be addressed.

The New "Mixed" Marriage:
When Gay and Straight Spouses Stay Together
Imago International
Conference
www.imagotherapy.com
October 26-30, 2005 Atlanta Georgia
What do you do when, in the course of couples therapy,
one spouse comes out to the other as gay? In a rush of
countertransference, many therapists see divorce as the
only option. Yet, given time, such couples may decide to
remain together, with certain adjustments. This workshop
will explore the treatment issues for the new mixed
marriage, from how therapists can recognize their
countertransference and keep it from interfering to ways
they can tailor therapy to the couple's unique needs.
Participants will learn how to facilitate dialogue
between the partners to deal with the straight spouse's
reactivity and the gay spouse's guilt, and how to help
the couple decide what's best for them.
Objectives:
A) Participants will be able to understand their own
countertransference toward these couples and avoid it
interfering with them providing treatment.
B) Participants will learn to assist both partners in
recognizing their own accountability in terms of why
they married and what to do now that they know without
blame and defensiveness.
C) Participants will identify the stages of coming out
for the couple as well as the gay spouse and straight
spouse independent from the relationship.
D) Participants will learn the differences between how
male and female spouses, both gay and straight, handle
the coming out process of the "mixed marriage"
differently.

"Do Your Homo-work! Our Kids, Our Reactions, and
Homophobia"
How
we raise our children can raise a parent's unresolved
issues from their own childhood. It can also reveal how
we were parented as children. Most minorities teach
their children how to deal with discrimination. As
Lesbians and gays, we were not taught how to handle
homophobia as children, rendering us ill equipped in how
to protect our own children. This lecture will address
these issues and help you identify effective ways to
create a safe, supportive and nurturing household for
both queer parents and their children.
