About The Doug Braun-Harvey Fellowship

The Doug Braun-Harvey Fellowship in Compulsive Sexual Behavior is a two-year program that provides training in the general area of sexual therapy with a particular emphasis in compulsive and out-of-control sexual behavior. This fellowship focuses on expanding access to care and advancing research to better understand, diagnose, and treat the compulsive and out-of-control sexual behavior.

The fellowship will support postdoctoral fellows who are interested in a career that combines clinical and scholarly endeavors in the area of compulsive sexual behavior.

Fellows of the Institute for Sexual and Gender Health with an emphasis in Compulsive Sexual Behavior spend 40% of their time conducting research projects under faculty supervision, with a goal of presenting results at a scientific conference or preparing an article for publication. They spend 60% of their time providing clinical care focused on compulsive and out-of-control sexual behavior as well as treating a variety of sexual and gender health conditions, under the supervision of experienced professionals.
