“BDSM…Pathology or Pacification?”

Ray White

This workshop is intended to serve as a clinician’s primer on the subject of BDSM. What is it? Is it pathological? Am I qualified as a counselor to see clients presenting with issues related to their BDSM practice? Participants will learn there is much more to BDSM than Fifty Shades of Grey.

Workshop Objectives

1. Following this presentation, participants will be able to differentiate BDSM as a “pathology” versus a “pacification.”
2. Following this presentation, participants will be able to identify three or more common psychological characteristics of BDSM practitioners.
3. Following this presentation, participants will be able to understand the potential of BDSM practice as a harm reduction activity for certain clients.
