Exploring Ontogeny in Minor Attraction and Approaches for Therapy

In this exclusive IAPST Virtual Colloquium, Dr. Caleb Jacobson—psychologist, sex therapist, and author of The Therapist’s Guide to Understanding and Treating Minor Attracted Persons: Evidence-Based Clinical Intervention—presents an in-depth exploration of the developmental origins and therapeutic treatment of minor attraction.

This one-hour presentation will examine the ontogeny of minor attraction through an evidence-based and psychosexual developmental lens, addressing key questions such as: Is minor attraction an orientation or an interest? and Why does it occur? Dr. Jacobson will also discuss therapeutic strategies, treatment goals, and clinical approaches that balance compassion with accountability.

Designed for clinicians and educators, this session provides an opportunity to deepen understanding, refine clinical frameworks, and strengthen competency in one of the field’s most complex areas of psychosexual therapy.

He holds a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree in clinical psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Hebrew Bible, biblical archaeology, and psychological exegesis.

Bridging the Divide: The Essential Role of Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Behavioral Health

Behavioral health treatment increasingly requires an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to effectively address the complex intersection of trauma, mental illness, neurobiology, medical conditions, family systems, substance use, and social determinants of health. Yet professionals across disciplines often work in fragmented systems that limit communication, continuity of care, and treatment outcomes. This presentation explores the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in behavioral health settings and examines how clinicians, physicians, educators, social workers, case managers, legal professionals, and allied health providers can work together to create more cohesive, trauma-informed, and patient-centered systems of care.

(Trainer - Malkie Schick, LCSW, is the Director of Counseling and Integrative Care at Aizer Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center in Monroe, New York. Malkie has worked to provide high-quality community-based services through the establishment and direction of the counseling and integrative care departments, which provide access for all patients to receive behavioral health care in the primary care setting. Malkie is also a NEFESH board member. Malkie loves to teach and learn. She enjoys her work as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and program director. She has lectured across the United States on a wide variety of topics related to mental health. Malkie received her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, her postgraduate certification in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Dallas Psychoanalytic Institute, and her certification in Transference-Focused Psychotherapy from the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training.)
