I just got home from Philadelphia where I presented two courses for the US Journal Conference on Behavioral Health & Addictive Disorders, The first talk was on my upcoming book, “Erotic Intelligence: Igniting Hot, Healthy Sex After Recovery From Sex Addiction,” and the other entitled “Early Childhood Attachment Patterns Effects on the Neuropsychobiology of Sex Addicts” mirrors a recent article I had published in the Journal of Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity.
While there, I had the pleasure of meeting Jane Velez-Mitchell who talked about her new book, “iwant? My Journey from Addiction and Overconsumption to a Simpler, Honest Life.”
If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend you do!!

The 2005 SASH Conference was held in San Francisco, California this year. Around 400 therapists gathered to share ideas and to listen to a vareity of speakers talk about how to create a culture of healthy sexuality. There were many highlights to this conference including a panel discussion addressing the question of "What is Healthy Sexuality?"
There was lively discussion around that question and a movement by members of both SASH (Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health) and AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators and Therapists) to come together in a dialogue to look for similarities and ways to build bridges.
I believe that this kind of coming together can only bode well for the profession of psychotherapy and for the future of sex education in this country.
