Leather/Kink/BDSM Sexuality: Cultural Competence and Clinical Issues
Center on Halsted
3656 North Halsted Street
Chicago, Illinois
May 22, 2008
Planned in conjunction with
International Mr. Leather weekend
Leather, kink, B&D, S&M, alt sex….. Non-traditional sexual practices, lifestyles and identities have become increasingly visible in recent years. With more portrayals on television and in movies, as well as in literature and music, clients are feeling increasingly comfortable about bringing “forbidden” sexual issues to psychotherapy.
Clinicians have few, if any, sources other than the popular media to learn about these populations. This conference will provide clinical perspectives, empirical data and opportunities to discuss challenges encountered in psychotherapy. The Level 1 seminars serve as an introduction for the “kink-naïve” practitioner, while Level 2 seminars will provide clinicians who have some familiarity with the community the opportunity to expand their skills. Advanced seminars are offered for those who are well versed with this population, providing an occasion to learn what is new in research and discuss more intricate issues.
