Psychology Colloquium with Dr. E. Sandra Byers-FR

Dr. E. Sandra Byers, from the University of New Brunswick, will  deliver a colloquium entitled, "Sexual Well-Being: Are You There Yet?" All are welcome to attend!

Sexual well-being has strong personal significance to most individuals and couples. It also contributes to relationship satisfaction and longevity, quality of life, and psychological adjustment. Although researchers have paid considerable attention to the understanding and treatment of sexual dysfunction, problems, and disease, they have been less concerned with understanding and enhancing sexual well-being.

Based on more than 40 years as a sex researcher, sex educator, and sex therapist, Dr. E. Sandra Byers will describe a comprehensive model of sexual well-being. She also will summarize several lines of her research related to sexual well-being including her work on sexual satisfaction, sexual communication, and vulnerable groups. In doing so, she will highlight findings that challenge common myths and misconceptions about sexual well-being.
