Students will explore the application, practice, and evidence base of a range of counselling techniques/models in psychosexual therapy. These will include mixed-desire relationships, fetishes and paraphilias, and out-of-control sexual behaviours. The unit of study will be conducted in two stages. Stage one is an online component and stage two is a compulsory intensive teaching block. During the intensive teaching block students will extend their knowledge and practice of counselling and psychosexual therapeutic interventions through role-plays, as well as participate in Sexual Attitude Re-Assessment Seminar (SARS) activities. On completion of this unit, students will be able to: (i) Apply a variety of counselling and/or psychotherapeutic techniques in addressing psychosexual concerns; (ii) Critique the application of counselling and/or psychotherapeutic techniques in addressing psychosexual concerns; (iii) Develop treatment/management plans for a variety of psychosexual concerns; and (iv) Develop an awareness of sexual attitudes.
