Tuesday,

presented by Woet L Gianotten MD
Presented in English only / Solo en Inglés
Workshop being given under
the auspices of the International
Society for Sexuality and Cancer (ISSC).
Target Audience:
All onco-professionals directly dealing (verbally) with the patient and/or
partner:
psychology, nursing, social work, medical, paramedical. Special note: This
workshop requires that at least 35% of the audience be male.
Workshop Objectives:
• Increase knowledge regarding the influence of cancer and its treatment on sexuality and the intimate relationship.
• Increase (or develop) the skills to ‘talk sex’ with cancer patients and to deal with various sexual problems after cancer treatment.
• Become part of the process of developing an approach where sexuality is an integrated part of cancer care.
Workshop Description:
The physical arrangement of the workshop will change frequently with small pieces from 3 different components:
- Plenary / interactive pieces (taking 35% of the total time). Here participants should not be consumers, but are expected to be part of the process.
- Small one-way presentations (taking 30%). Scientific data will only be delivered when relevant for the direct patient-professional interaction.
- Small-group exercises (taking 35%). Everyone joining the workshop has to participate in role-playing with positions (as professional, patient or feed-back providing observer) changing regularly.
