International Symposium on Sex Therapy 2025

The Second Annual International Symposium on Sex Therapy (ISST), hosted by the International Association of Psychosexual Therapists (IAPST), brought together a dynamic community of clinicians, researchers, educators, and thought leaders from across the globe. Held in the stunning coastal town of Hvar, Croatia, the 2025 symposium served as a premier gathering for advancing the field of psychosexual therapy and deepening our collective commitment to sexual health and wellness.

Centered on the theme “Bridging Theory and Practice in Psychosexual Therapy,” this year’s event featured a diverse range of paper presentations, clinical case demonstrations, and poster sessions. Attendees engaged in lively discussions on evidence-based practices, culturally responsive care, emerging modalities, and the integration of clinical innovation with rigorous academic inquiry.​

ISST 2025 fostered a collaborative and inclusive environment where both seasoned professionals and emerging voices contributed to critical conversations shaping the future of sex therapy. From interdisciplinary learning to cross-cultural exchange, the symposium underscored the value of global perspectives in advancing ethical, effective, and affirming psychosexual care.
