History and overview
[edit]AASECT (/ˈeɪsɛkt/ AY-sekt[1]) was founded in 1967 by Patricia Schiller with the aim of promoting greater understanding of human sexuality, especially in relation to women.[2] AASECT publishes the peer-reviewed journals American Journal of Sexuality Education and the Journal of Sex Education and Therapy. AASECT offers certification of sexual health practitioners in four categories: sexuality educator, sex counselor, sex therapist (CST) and supervisor (CST-S).[3] They have also published a directory of sex therapists since 1976 and have initiated therapeutic options via phone and online.[4]
