An Existential Understanding of Male Sexuality and Men’s Problematic Sexual Behaviors
This webinar is for mental health professionals, clinicians, and researchers with an interest in sexual function, dysfunction, and ethics in healthcare practice
Dr. Daniel N. Watter is the author of more than 30 professional articles and book chapters on topics such as sexual function and dysfunction, and ethics in healthcare practice. His forthcoming book, The Existential Importance of the Penis: A Guide to Understanding the Sexuality of Men, summarizes much of what he has learned throughout his career and forms the basis.
This webinar presentation and interview focus on the existential lives of men and how much of men’s concerns can be understood through the functioning of the penis. Additionally, we examine the abusive and problematic sexual behavior of some men through an existential psychotherapy lens with clinical strategies for treatment as the ultimate goal.
The webinar begins with a brief overview of existential psychotherapy and the evolution of couples and sex therapies and explores how sexual dysfunction can result from trauma.
