2025 Hvar

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.
