I LOVE the CBT video on LGBTQ. I found it incredibly helpful to provide techniques in working with this population. The technique I found most helpful is the coming out scale. What a concrete way to discuss the progress so far and the progress needed in the future. It combines both CBT, solution focused, and strategic therapy.
In addition to the video, the reading this week was also interesting. I am especially intrigued by the part about consent to sexual activity for elderly with dementia and AL. I knew it would be difficult especially if the patient's preferred partner is not their own spouse. However, I did not think about the legal implication in this situation. I thought it would be helpful to learn how to discuss this topic with our clients and families.

Paraphilia and Sexual Diversity
Thank you for the wonderful presentation on paraphilia. It TOTALLY open my eyes about all the philias that exist out there. Some, honestly, I never would have thought. Couple thoughts on the presentations:
1. Important distinctions on: not all pedophiles are child molesters, and not all child molesters are pedophiles. I think we should give the Gold Star Pedophiles truly a gold star. Who knows how hard that is to resist temptations like that.
2. The wikipage is extensive, like a gold mine, and a bit overwhelming. There are definitely a lot to cover especially when most people dont talk about paraphilia. I appreciate and LOVE the video discussing different paraphilia. It's an incredible summary and really add to the presentation... But is it just me or does she talk way too fast that I have a hard time understanding?
Lastly, Sexual diversity chapters were important to gain a better understanding of female to male transexual and male to femlae transexual. I was really surprise that the first recommendation for clients with GD is hormone treatment? Really??? Did I read it wrong or is our society really that medicalized?
