SEXUAL EXPERIENCE AND
SEXUAL COUNSELING:
ASIAN AND WESTERN
PERSPECTIVES

Harrison Voigt

This workshop examines the experience and expression of sexual energies from Eastern and Western perspectives and includes a description and discussion of sexuality from the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal perspectives. Through a combination of didactic and experiential learning modalities, the workshop will examine sexual awareness, beliefs, physiological responses, and the evolving personal meaning of sexual experience.

Guest speakers will contribute perspectives from gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual orientations. Contemporary approaches to sexual counseling and sexual enrichment will be reviewed and critiqued and illustrated with case material from couples and individuals working on sexual issues. The course will also present an introduction of a new model for couples' sexual enhancement, derived from Tantrism.

In private practice as a clinical psychologist, he is especially interested in the application of Buddhist models of spiritual development and transformation to psychotherapeutic practice.
