Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Women's and Gender Studies

Description:

This course explores the socio-cultural, physiological, and psychological variables associated with human sexual expression, identity, orientation, and behavior. Attention will also focus on clinical issues most often presented in social work practice and women and gender studies by individuals and couples, e.g., desire discrepancy in couples and affairs outside a committed relationship. Specific sexual dysfunctions identified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) will be explored in terms of their etiology and the current treatment models used to address them. The field of Sex Therapy, past and present, will be discussed as well as the evidence-based practices for treatment. This course is not designed to create sex therapists but to help social workers feel more comfortable dealing with the sexual concerns of their clients.
