Speaker(s)

Richard Young, MSW, MDiv, LCSW, CSAT, CMAT

The goal of this program is to present up to date information on how digital technology is impacting sexual behavior, dating, and intimacy among people of all ages. We will discuss how technology is generating a “new breed” of sexually addicted individuals whose brains get literally hijacked by an unlimited online world. The goal of the presentation is to give clinicians information on how to assess and learn tools and resources to assist clients in their treatment and recovery from compulsive sexual and relational behaviors. Special emphasis will be given to treatment for spouses/partners who have been betrayed by their partner’s behaviors and address the trauma that these individuals often experience as a result.
