Hi Everyone \u2013 hope you\u2019re all enjoying a glorious Summer!\u00a0I\u2019m writing about some upcoming trainings in the area this Fall that are worthy of special consideration.<\/p>\n
Dr. Barry McCarthy<\/b> is a long time sex therapist and author of numerous clinical and self-help books and journal articles on a wide range of sex-related topics, including Rekindling Desire<\/i> and Men\u2019s Sexual Health<\/i>. His Good-Enough model, primarily a cognitive-behavioral approach, also includes a strong relational focus. I\u2019ve attended several of Dr. McCarthy\u2019s presentations and always find him to be a clear, knowledgeable presenter who addresses careful multi-dimensional assessment of sexual difficulties. This is a great opportunity to learns some basics of sex therapy. He\u2019s presenting 1-day workshops in the area on September 11 and 12, presented by PESI. Get more info at pesi.com<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n The Family Institute and its Alumni Association are hosting Dr. Donald Baucom<\/b> on September 12th<\/sup>. He\u2019ll be speaking on infidelity, one of his many couple therapy research topics. He\u2019s a co-author of one of my favorite books on working with infidelity, Helping Couples Get Past the Affair<\/i>, and the self-help version, Getting Past the Affair<\/i>, both of which lay out an empirically investigated cognitive-behavioral 3-stage model for working with marital distress related to infidelity. More info is available at family-institute.org\/fallconference<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n Dr. Joe Kort<\/b> will be in the area October 6 through 8 presenting 1-day workshops on working with gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients. Dr. Kort is the author of Gay Affirmative Therapy for the Straight Clinician<\/i>, a well-respected overview of how to work more effectively with gay clients. He has a practice in Ann Arbor, MI and was one of the featured speakers at the University of Michigan sex therapy training program I completed last year. He\u2019s an informative and engaging speaker. More info is available at pesi.com<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n Finally, I\u2019ll be presenting a 1-day Introduction to Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy<\/b> at Trinity International University\u2019s Fall Counseling Conference in Deerfield on October 31st<\/sup>. I regularly get inquiries from local therapists asking about introductory talks on EFT; this is an excellent opportunity for therapists only marginally familiar with the model to get an overview of the theory and interventions.
