Desire Discrepancies
Desire discrepancies are one of the most common reasons that clients report seeking out sex therapy, and even when desire issues are not the immediate presenting problem, desire discrepancies are often present and contributing to relational distress.
Additionally, myths and misunderstandings about desire are abundant in media and public discourse. These factors combined make this subject an essential area of learning for any couples/sex therapist.

This content is relevant to social work practice because sexuality is part of the human experience, and impacts the lives of all of our clients, whether it is directly or indirectly part of the clinical work in which we are engaged with them.
