Contemporary relationships are undergoing profound change as technology, evolving social norms, and global connectivity reshape how individuals form and sustain intimacy. This course examines the emerging landscape of modern couples therapy and the growing integration of sex therapy as an essential component of relational treatment.
Participants will explore the ways digital culture, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality are influencing sexual behavior, desire, and connection. The course will discuss how post-pandemic trends have contributed to increased loneliness, decreased sexual activity among younger couples, and sustained intimacy among older adults. Attention will be given to the clinical implications of new sexual technologies, including virtual reality pornography, sex robots, and teledildonics on sexual function, desire discrepancies, and treatment planning.
Through research-informed discussion and reflective clinical exploration, participants will consider how therapists can navigate nontraditional and technology-influenced expressions of intimacy while addressing their own countertransference, discomfort, and ethical boundaries. This course invites clinicians to reimagine their role in helping clients build healthy, authentic connections in a rapidly changing world, integrating new modalities for fostering emotional and sexual well-being.
This program is offered for educational purposes only and is designed to enhance professional knowledge related to contemporary relationships, sex therapy integration, and technology-informed clinical practice. Participation in this course does not result in certification, licensure, or authorization to practice beyond one’s existing credentials, and it does not provide legal advice. Participants are responsible for applying the information in a manner consistent with their professional scope of practice, applicable ethical standards, and state or jurisdictional licensure requirements.
