Description
This workshop provides clinicians with strategies for engaging sexual orientation and gender identity concerns in the context of religiously conservative patients. Recognizing that religious beliefs and practices are often core components of identity, the course emphasizes working within the patient’s socio-religious framework to address areas of non-congruence. Participants will learn approaches for fostering therapeutic progress while honoring both the patient’s values and their psychosexual well-being.
