Description of Society for Sex Therapy and Research
The Society for Sex Therapy and Research , SSTAR , is a community of professionals who have clinical and/or research interests in human sexual concerns. Its goals are to facilitate communication among clinicians who treat problems of sexual function, sexual identity, and reproductive life and to provide a forum for exchange of ideas between those interested in research in human sexuality and those whose primary activities are patient care. These goals are accomplished by an Annual Meeting, regional Clinical Conferences, a membership newsletter, and an e-mail list serve for members. The Society for Sex Therapy and Research was created in 1975 and began as an informal coalition of sex therapists primarily associated with medical schools in the northeastern United States. Because of the quality of the annual meetings and conferences and the membership standards, the popularity of SSTAR rapidly expanded beyond the United States to include Canada and several other countries. The membership is multidisciplinary with the criteria that members are actively involved in treatment or clinical investigation of sexual disorders; possess superior clinical competence and high ethical standards. Our membership includes professionals in varying disciplines including Psychology, Medicine (including Psychiatry, Ob/Gyn, Urology, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine), Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, Nursing, Sexology, and the sciences. This permits an interaction between people of diverse disciplines allowing each to contribute his or her unique perspective. Click here for an Application to Join SSTAR.
