ABOUT
The International Journal of Psychosexual Therapy (IJPST) is the official, peer-reviewed publication of the International Association of Psychosexual Therapists (IAPST). Dedicated to advancing both theoretical discourse and clinical innovation in psychosexual therapy, IJPST serves as a global forum for clinicians, researchers, educators, and allied professionals committed to promoting sexual health, intimacy, and relational well-being.
Aligned with IAPST’s mission to foster excellence in psychosexual care, the journal publishes original research, clinical case studies, theoretical papers, and critical reviews that deepen our understanding of sexual functioning, desire, identity, and ethics. IJPST emphasizes interdisciplinary perspectives—drawing on psychology, medicine, sociology, public health, and ethics—to address the multifaceted nature of human sexuality across diverse cultural, religious, and socioeconomic contexts.
Readers will also find select proceedings from the annual International Symposium on Sex Therapy, providing timely access to emerging research, intervention models, and best practices discussed by leading experts. By disseminating evidence-based knowledge and innovative frameworks, IJPST aims to support the professional development of psychosexual therapists, enhance therapeutic outcomes for individuals and couples worldwide, and contribute meaningfully to the global dialogue on sexual wellness.
Through its unwavering commitment to scholarly rigor, inclusivity, and clinical relevance, the International Journal of Psychosexual Therapy embodies the core values of the IAPST and advances the evolving practice of psychosexual therapy.
