The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (est. 1976) is an unaccredited,〔U.S. Department of Education ("Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs ).〕 for-profit, degree-granting institution and resource center in the field of sexology located in San Francisco, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality )〕 Degree and certificate programs focus on public health, sex therapy, and sexological research. The Institute grew out of research in the 1960s highlighting the general lack of understanding of and formal training in human sexuality. The library and archives, are a collection of adult films, academic sexological and erotological resources, and sex therapy training materials. The IASHS has trained many of the current directors of Sexology programs in other countries. Most recently a Sister School of the IASHS has been launched in China. Like all post-secondary schools in California, IASHS is required by California law to register with the State of California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, an anti-fraud or anti-diploma mill unit of the California Department of Consumer Affairs. IASHS has BPPE "approval to operate", which means that IASHS meets the minimum legal standards for "offering of ''bona fide'' instruction by qualified faculty".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Approved Institutions )〕 == History == The path that led to the founding of the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in 1976 began in 1962 with a program called the National Young Adult Project (NYAP). Originating in the then Methodist Church, the NYAP ultimately became an ecumenical project that included the Evangelical United Brethren, Presbyterian Church USA, and United Church of Christ denominations on the national level. Other church bodies (African Methodist Episcopal, American Baptist, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Protestant Episcopal, United Presbyterian Church in the USA, and Lutheran Church of America) also participated on a regional or local level. Dr. Ted McIlvenna, a Methodist minister, a cofounder, owner and president of the Institute, headed the San Francisco project for the NYAP. Of the 50+ nationwide projects the NYAP developed by 1968, only the three connected to him and Glide Memorial Methodist Church had anything to do with sexuality issues. McIlvenna believed that there was a lack of research on human sexuality and the absence of demonstrated effective training and educational methodologies. A meeting in 1967 at the Institute for Sex Research led to the formation of the National Sex Forum as part of the Glide Foundation to address this lack.〔 By 1974, it was clear to the Forum that a free-standing institute dedicated to the study of and education and training in the emerging field of sexology was required. They divied the creation of the academic institute as: McIlvenna to re-envision the Forum as an academic setting; Laird Sutton to collect a graphic-resource library; Herbert Vandervoort to organize and prepare the academic work of the study team; and Marguerite Rubenstein, Loretta Haroian, and Phyllis Lyon to define the professional training standards for the new academically trained professional sexologists. Wardell Pomeroy was the first Academic Dean.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archive for Sexology: Modern Sex Research (1938– ) )〕 The Institute was integral to the development of ''humanistic sexology'', emphasizing experiential techniques and sexual pleasure over positivist empiricism. The culture of casual as well as clinical nudity and the inclusion of various bodywork and erotic massage techniques led to the Institute being nicknamed "Fuck U" by some critics. The inclusion of Reichian therapy and other techniques not well founded in research has similarly led to criticism.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
