The Men's Group Seminar:
New Research on Male Sexuality
10:15 to 11:30 AM
In her new book
"
Not Always in the Mood: The New Science of Men, Sex, and Relationships,"
Dr. Sarah Hunter Murray has attempted to debunk common myths about men and sex with her presentation of intriguing new scientific and clinical data. She intensively studied a sample of heterosexual men and her findings pose new insights on such topics as men's need to feel emotionally close with a partner as a precondition to sex, men's cherishing of feeling desired by their partner, and the importance men ascribe to being viewed and experienced beyond stereotypical perspectives of male sexuality and sexual dynamics in relationships.
In the next meeting of the Men's Group Seminar on Saturday, November 2, 2019 (10:15 to 11:30 AM)
, we will discuss Murray's findings.

The Relationship Group Seminar:
How Narcissists Love
11:45 AM to 1:00 PM
For a variety of reasons that are psychologically- and culturally-based, narcissism is on the rise. Scientific research indicates that a growing number of men, and a steadily rising percentage of women, display narcissistic attitudes and behaviors. Perhaps in no other realm of life are narcissistic dynamics seen more strikingly than in romantic relationships. I would estimate that currently in my clinical practice, 75% of my clients struggle with their own narcissistic problems and/or have been traumatized in their relationships with narcissistic partners. Although narcissism remains commonly misunderstood, at its core narcissism is an unconscious feeling of insecurity that cannot be reduced or resolved by the accumulation of experiences which would otherwise make one feel secure and confident about oneself. Instead, this deep insecurity remains a psychologically active craving throughout adulthood, compelling a person to seek sources of self-esteem and security by manipulating, and negatively impacting, the self-esteem of others.
