Class Description
Despite the declassification of kink as a mental illness, per the DSM-5, studies show that many BDSM participants remain hesitant to seek mental health services. There are unique predictors that indicate whether a kinky client will seek mental health services. Often, these come down to you: the clinician.
In this class, we will review several publishings and discuss the limitations being placed on clients who practice BDSM. Utilizing Thrive’s unique environment which brings together professionals from around the world, we will also discuss different cultures around BDSM, mental health services, and the laws that may impact clinicians and their clients from a variety of locations.
