Marty Klein, Ph.D.
The popularity of today’s free pornography contributes to conflict between many porn users and their partners. Many clinicians depend on personal experience, their own values, and psychology’s gender stereotypes and sex-negativity when dealing with these cases. This can lead to interventions we wouldn’t consider in similar non-sexual situations — taking sides, pathologizing one partner while legitimizing the other, diagnosing “porn addiction” without sufficient information. This often results in treatment errors and premature termination.
When you develop “pornography literacy” you can support both porn consumers and their partners.
Marty Klein, Ph.D.
When people come in and the presenting problem is sex, do you know what you need to know about affairs, desire, pornography, fertility, S/M, “sex addiction,” arranged marriages, aging, cybersex, and orgasm? And when the presenting problem isn’t sex, do you know how to deal with the ways sexuality can interface with issues of power, anxiety, intimacy, guilt, shame, and isolation?
Most therapists don’t understand, that helping clients feel sexually “normal” undermines treatment rather than supporting it. In this bonus recording, participants will acquire new tools to interpret, influence, and treat patients’ sexual decision-making — without stripping sex of its richness, darkness, and adulthood.

More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
