Course Introduction
Program Contents
Course Objectives
Knowing the history of sexology is a AASECT-required Core Knowledge Area. In this course, you will learn about sexology from ancient to contemporary times. The learning activities include listening to lectures, watching films, writing a brief responsive essay, and passing a quiz. The activities are to be done in order. You must check off each activity as complete before you can proceed to the next.
Learning activities include:
- 4-part lecture on the history of sexology
- Watching the film "Kinsey"
- Participating in an online discussion
Keep in mind that there are, of course, multiple "histories," and not just one American-centric history of sexology. In a later module and course, the subject of culture and sexuality will be presented.
Intended Audience
This course is recommended both as an introduction to the topic as well as an update for more experienced practitioners of sex and relationship therapy.
