Joe KortJoe Kort • Friday Morning
As a straight clinician, it’s important to be gay informed, more than just gay-friendly. It’s especially important to recognize the differences between the relationship dynamics of gay male and female couples. In this workshop, we’ll compare the distinct differences in relationship dynamics and problem areas that arise for gay men and for lesbians: responsible sexual practices and the need for more connectedness among gay male couples and diminished sexual desire and the need for separateness among lesbians are just a few. You’ll leave with specific interventions and assessment tools that promote gay-affirmative couples therapy.

Joe Kort, Ph.D., L.M.S.W., a sex and relationship therapist, is the author of 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Improve Their Lives; 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do to Find Real Love; and Gay Affirmative Therapy for the Straight Clinician: The Essential Guide.
