In There Aren't Enough of Us: Building Competence in Assessment and Treatment in Sexuality, for this course, the practical stakes show up in skills that remain meaningful when school supports disappear and adult expectations change, not in abstract discussion alone.

In this talk, Dr. Shane T. Spiker will focus on developing basic, fundamental skills for working with sexual behavior, including how to identify what domains the behavior be related to and some of the current research related to assessment and treatment.
