Brief summary of the workshop: The aim of this workshop is to offer theoretical and practical ideas for systemic therapists to approach sexual issues in their clinical work. The workshop will address the importance of the rationale for opening up conversations about sex in therapy and propose ideas about bridging the thinking and practice between systemic and sex therapy.

Desa will reflect on examples from her psychotherapy practice with individuals and couples and show video recorded material where she integrates her psychosexual expertise within a wider framework of working systemically.

She will also offer her perspective on deconstructing social and cultural mythology and silence around the topic of sex and introduce a Model for Systemic Sex Therapy that she has developed through her years of working with clients presenting a wide range of sexual issues.

Presenter: Desa Markovic has over 20 years of systemic practice as therapist, supervisor and trainer. She is also a psychosexual therapist and has written, taught and practiced clinically in the context of integrating systemic and psychosexual therapy. Desa was Assistant Director of the Institute of Family Therapy between 2000 and 2004 and for two years prior to that, Senior Practice Consultant with Relate.
She is currently Programme Director for Psychotherapy and Counselling Programme at Regent’s University London.
