When a client'\;s harmful sexual behavior involves pornography\, social media\, gaming\, messaging apps\, or artificial intelligence\, restrictions and monitoring may be necessary. But they don'\;t answer the bigger clinical questions: What should we be asking about online behavior? What does the research tell us? And how do we translate that information into meaningful assessment and treatment?

Technology is changing how adolescents and adults engage in sexually harmful behavior\, creating new challenges for professionals responsible for assessment\, treatment\, and risk management. Keeping up requires more than knowing which apps are popular or how to restrict access.

This practical\, three-hour workshop brings together three experienced professionals to explore how technology-related sexual behavior can be better understood and addressed in clinical practice.

Participants will explore:

Asking better questions: Understanding the online environments clients use and identifying what may be missing from current assessments.

Applying the research: Using current evidence about technology-related sexual behavior to inform case conceptualization and treatment planning.

Moving beyond restrictions: Identifying treatment strategies that address digital behavior alongside monitoring and risk-management measures.

Recognizing our own reactions: Examining how assumptions\, biases\, and emotional responses to technology and sexual behavior can influence clinical judgment.

Putting it into practice: Applying these concepts to case examples involving adolescents and adults.

Using a practical framework that connects technology knowledge (TQ)\, research and clinical understanding (IQ)\, and emotional awareness (EQ)\, presenters will help participants navigate the increasingly complex intersection of technology\, sexual behavior\, and treatment.
