SASH is also announcing the launch of its new certification training program called Advanced Training in Problematic Sexual Behaviors – ATPSB which is greatly needed for a wide range of practitioners and therapists nationally. “Currently, there is a critical shortage of peer-reviewed, evidence-based material and training in the area of problematic sexual behaviors,” says Robin Cato, executive director of SASH. This is in contrast to the continued explosion of problematic sexual behaviors that clinicians are facing.” Levels one and two are each 16 hours programs that can be completed in two days of training at the SASH conference on Sept. 19-20. Normally, the total cost of the program would be $1,900 paid in two installments but for this initial offering, the level one training will be offered for $800.
