L’utilisation de la pleine conscience dans le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin
'Elsevier BV', 2019Co-Authors: Adam Françoise, Day James, De Sutter Pascal, Brasseur ChristopheAbstract:OBJECTIF L’anOrgasmie féminine est une des difficultés sexuelles les plus fréquentes. La pleine conscience (PC) est souvent utilisée en psychopathologie et son efficacité a été largement prouvée scientifiquement. L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre l’intérêt d’intégrer la PC dans le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. Dans cette perspective, nous présentons une revue de la littérature du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin et ses traitements. Ensuite, la pleine conscience et son efficacité pour les dysfonctions sexuelles féminines sont abordées. La discussion permet de mettre en avant l’intérêt d’intégrer la PC dans le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODE Analyse de la littérature de 1952 à 2018 effectuée principalement dans les bases de données Sciencesdirect et Scopus avec comme mots clés mindfulness, female Orgasmic Disorder, anOrgasmia, women sexual dysfonction. RÉSULTATS La PC est efficace pour les traitements des troubles psychopathologiques et son utilisation s’est étendue aux difficultés sexuelles féminines. Si plusieurs traitements de l’anOrgasmie se sont focalisés sur l’amélioration des habilités comportementales et la réduction de l’anxiété, peu se sont consacrés aux cognitions et aux émotions dysfonctionnelles responsables du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. Au regard de la littérature, la PC améliore toute la fonction sexuelle féminine. CONCLUSION La PC propose des exercices qui faciliteraient l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. Cette étude souligne l’intérêt d’intégrer la PC dans la prise en charge du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin et d’élaborer d’un protocole de traitement directement utilisable par les cliniciens.[Mindfulness-based therapy for women's Orgasmic Disorder] PURPOSE Orgasmic Disorder is one of the most common sexual women's difficulties. Mindfulness is often used in psychopathology and its effectiveness has been widely proven scientifically. The purpose of this article is to understand the interest to integrate mindfulness training in the treatment of female Orgasmic Disorder. In this perspective, we present a review of the literature on female Orgasm Disorder and its treatments. Moreover, mindfulness and its effectiveness for female sexual dysfunctions are addressed. The discussion highlights the value of integrating mindfulness into the treatment of female Orgasm Disorder. SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY A review of the literature about mindfulness and anorgania will be presented. We investinguate mostly studies from 1952 to 2018 using Scopus and ScincesDirect data base with the keywords Mindfulness, female Orgasmic Disorder, anOrgasmia, female sexual dysfonction. RESULTS Mindfulness is effective for many psychopathological Disorders and its use has extended to female sexual difficulties. While several treatments for anOrgasmia have focused on improving behavioral skills and reducing anxiety, few have focused on the cognitions and dysfunctional emotions that are responsible on the female orgsmic Disorder. The review of the literature shows that mindfulness improves all female sexual function. Furthermore, it would be interesting to integrate mindfulness for the female Orgasm Disorder and develop a specific treatment directly usable by clinicians. CONCLUSION Mindfulness includes exercises to develop abilities to achieve Orgasm. This study suggests that future research might develop a mindfulness-based therapy protocol to treat women's Orgasmic Disorder

Analyse processuelle des facteurs cognitifs du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin
'Elsevier BV', 2017Co-Authors: Adam Françoise, Day James, De Sutter Pascal, Brasseur ChristopheAbstract:OBJECTIFS : Cet article s’intéresse aux facteurs cognitifs responsables du trouble de l’Orgasme et plus spécifiquement à la distraction cognitive ainsi que le rôle de l’attention dans l’atteinte de l’Orgasme féminin. Le premier objectif est de présenter les déterminants du trouble de l’Orgasme et plus particulièrement les déterminants psychologiques. Le deuxième objectif est de présenter les facteurs cognitifs dans les dysfonctions sexuelles féminines en vue de mieux comprendre le rôle des schémas cognitifs sexuels, des pensées automatiques négatives et des émotions négatives associées. Ensuite, il définit et conceptualise la distraction cognitive d’après le modèle de Barlow (1986) afin d’évaluer son impact sur la réponse sexuelle féminine et plus particulièrement chez les femmes anOrgasmiques. Il présente aussi le rôle de l’attention dans l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. Finalement, il tente de concrétiser le cercle vicieux du trouble de l’Orgasme d’après une analyse processuelle. Cet article devrait permettre de réfléchir sur les stratégies sexothérapeutiques à mettre en place dans la prise charge du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODE : Analyse de la littérature de 1970 à 2015 dans la base de données scopus avec comme mots clefs : anOrgasmie, attention, distraction et dysfonction sexuelle. RÉSULTATS : Au regard de la littérature, les femmes anOrgasmiques présentent davantage d’autoschémas sexuels négatifs ainsi que des pensées et des émotions négatives qui interfèrent avec l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. Dans cette perspective, c’est l’analyse processuelle et non le diagnostic qui va guider les interventions sexothérapeutiques du trouble de l’Orgasme. Celles-ci devraient principalement se centrer sur les processus dysfonctionnels (évitement expérientiel, biais cognitifs attentionnels, gestion des pensées et émotions négatives) dans la perspective de diminuer l’appréhension anxieuse, les émotions secondaires et ainsi faciliter l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. CONCLUSION : Il serait intéressant dans les études futures de proposer des interventions basées sur la pleine conscience pour le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme. En effet, la similitude des processus en jeu laisse penser que ce type d’intervention pourrait être pertinent pour le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin.[Process-analysis of cognitive factors of female Orgasm Disorder] PURPOSE : This article focuses on the cognitive factors responsible for Orgasmic Disorder and, more specifically, on the cognitive distraction and the role of attention in achieving female Orgasm. First and foremost, we want to present the determinants of Orgasm Disorder and especially the psychological determinants. Secondly, we aim at presenting the cognitive factors in sexual dysfunctions in order to have a better understanding of the role of sexual cognitive patterns, negative automatic thoughts and associated negative emotions. Afterwards, this article defines and conceptualizes cognitive distraction following Barlow's model (1986). The purpose is to evaluate its impact on the female sexual response, with a particular emphasis on anOrgasmic women. It presents the role of attention in achieving Orgasm as well. Finally, one tries to present a concrete conceptualization of the Orgasm Disorder cycle of after a process-analysis. This article should raise reflection on sexotherapeutic strategies to implement in order to tackle female Orgasm Disorder. MATERIAL AND METHOD : An analysis of the literature since 1970 until 2015 in the scopus database with the following keywords: anOrgasmia, attention, distraction and sexual dysfunction. RESULTS : After a thorough review of the literature, it appears that anOrgasmic women have more negative sexual self-schemas as well as negative thoughts and emotions, which interferes with the Orgasm achievement. Bearing this in mind, it is the process-analysis, and not the diagnosis, that will guide sexotherapeutic interventions in Orgasmic Disorder. These should mainly focus on dysfunctional processes (experiential avoidance, cognitive attentional bias, dealing with negative thoughts and emotions) in order to reduce anxious apprehension, secondary emotions and therefore facilitate the achievement of Orgasm. CONCLUSION : In further studies, it would be interesting to propose full consciousness-based intervention to treat Orgasmic Disorder. Undeniably, the similarity of the processes suggests that this type of intervention could be relevant for the treatment of female Orgasm disorde

Understanding female Orgasm to better apprehend the Orgasm Disorder in women
Elsevier Masson, 2015Co-Authors: Adam Françoise, Day James, Thoveron Morgane, De Sutter PascalAbstract:Objectives: The initial section of this article gives an historical perspective to the concept of Orgasm. Various models of the female sexual response are then presented, with the objective of seeking a definition of the female Orgasm. Finally, the concept of female Orgasmic dysfunction is explored through the differing versions of DSM whilst providing a critical overview. Sources and methodology: Analysis of the literature from 1950 to 2013 using the Scopus database with the keywords: anOrgasmia; female and sexual dysfunction. Outcome: The data suggests there is no universally accepted definition of the female Orgasm to date (Mah and Binik, 2001). Numerous studies focus on the physiological aspect of the Orgasm whilst the psychological factors are researched to a lesser degree. The lack of a satisfactory definition of the Orgasm may be attributed to the limited understanding of its underlying mechanisms, and to the fact that the researchers are dependent on the women's subjective self-evaluation of the experience. Thus, the subject is complex, with some women incapable of giving expression to their Orgasmic experience or even recognising such climax. In some cases, this is because they have indeed never experienced one; in other cases, because they have not thought of it as an Orgasm. Orgasmic dysfunction or anOrgasmia is the second sexual problem most frequently encountered by women with a prevalence ranging from 25 (Lewis et al., 2010) to 31% (Hayes et al., 2006). Conclusion: It would be interesting for future studies to research the ways in which women experience at the cognitive and emotional level their sexual relations with their partner. This should enable us to better understand and define the female Orgasm but also to improve support for Orgasmic dysfunction

DOI: 10.1080/00926230590475206 The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): Cross-Validation and Development of Clinical Cutoff Scores
2014Co-Authors: Markus Wiegel, Cindy M Meston, Raymond RosenAbstract:The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a brief, multidimensional scale for assessing sexual function in women. The scale has received initial psychometric evaluation, including studies of reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity (Meston, 2003; Rosen et al., 2000). The present study was designed to crossvalidate the FSFI in several samples of women with mixed sexual dysfunctions (N = 568) and to develop diagnostic cut-off scores for potential classification of women’s sexual dysfunction. Some of these samples were drawn from our previous validation studies (N = 414), and some were added for purposes of the present study (N = 154). The combined data set consisted of multiple samples of women with sexual dysfunction diagnoses (N = 307), including female sexual arousal Disorder (FSAD), hypoactive sexual desire Disorder (HSDD), female sexual Orgasm Disorder (FSOD), dyspareunia/vaginismus (pain), and multiple sexual dysfunctions, in Supported by an unrestricted grant from Bayer Phamaceuticals. In this study, women without sexual dysfunction were used as the reference group since higher FSFI scores indicate better sexual function. As a result, “sensitivity ” refers to the ability of the test to correctly classify positive sexual function. Sensitivity should be interpreted as the ability of the FSFI to correctly classify women without sexual dysfunction, and specificity to the ability to correctly classify women with sexual dysfunction

revised definitions of women s sexual dysfunction
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Rosemary Basson, Sandra R Leiblum, Lori A Brotto, Leonard R Derogatis, Jean L Fourcroy, Kerstin S Fuglmeyer, Alessandra Graziottin, Julia R Heiman, Ellen Laan, Cindy M MestonAbstract:ABSTRACT Introduction Existing definitions of women's sexual Disorders are based mainly on genitally focused events in a linear sequence model (desire, arousal and Orgasm). Aim To revise definitions based on an alternative model reflecting women's reasons/incentives for sexual activity beyond any initial awareness of sexual desire. Methods An International Definitions Committee of 13 experts from seven countries repeatedly communicated, proposed new definitions and presented at the 2nd International Consultation on Sexual Medicine in Paris July 2003. Main Outcome Measure Expert opinions/recommendations are based on a process that involved review of evidence‐based medical literature, extensive internal committee discussion, informal testing and re‐testing of drafted definitions in various clinical settings, public presentation and deliberation. Results Women have many reasons/incentives for sexual activity. Desire may be experienced once sexual stimuli have triggered arousal. Arousal and desire co‐occur and reinforce each other. Women's subjective arousal may be minimally influenced by genital congestion. An absence of desire any time during the sexual experience designates Disorder. Arousal Disorder subtypes are proposed that separate an absence of subjective arousal from all types of sexual stimulation, from an absence of subjective arousal when the only stimulus is genital. A new arousal Disorder has provisionally been suggested, namely that of persistent genital arousal. Orgasm Disorder is limited to absence of Orgasm despite high subjective arousal. Dyspareunia includes partial painful vaginal entry attempts as well as pain with intercourse. Variable reflex muscle tightening around the vagina and an absence of abnormal physical findings are noted in the definition of vaginismus. Women's sexuality is highly contextual and descriptors are recommended re past psychosexual development, current context, as well as medical status. Diagnosing sexual Disorders need not imply intrinsic dysfunction of the woman's own sex response system. Conclusions The International Definitions Committee has recommended a number of fundamental changes to the existing definitions of women's sexual Disorders.

L’utilisation de la pleine conscience dans le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin
'Elsevier BV', 2019Co-Authors: Adam Françoise, Day James, De Sutter Pascal, Brasseur ChristopheAbstract:OBJECTIF L’anOrgasmie féminine est une des difficultés sexuelles les plus fréquentes. La pleine conscience (PC) est souvent utilisée en psychopathologie et son efficacité a été largement prouvée scientifiquement. L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre l’intérêt d’intégrer la PC dans le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. Dans cette perspective, nous présentons une revue de la littérature du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin et ses traitements.

La discussion permet de mettre en avant l’intérêt d’intégrer la PC dans le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODE Analyse de la littérature de 1952 à 2018 effectuée principalement dans les bases de données Sciencesdirect et Scopus avec comme mots clés mindfulness, female Orgasmic Disorder, anOrgasmia, women sexual dysfonction. RÉSULTATS La PC est efficace pour les traitements des troubles psychopathologiques et son utilisation s’est étendue aux difficultés sexuelles féminines. Si plusieurs traitements de l’anOrgasmie se sont focalisés sur l’amélioration des habilités comportementales et la réduction de l’anxiété, peu se sont consacrés aux cognitions et aux émotions dysfonctionnelles responsables du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. Au regard de la littérature, la PC améliore toute la fonction sexuelle féminine. CONCLUSION La PC propose des exercices qui faciliteraient l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. Cette étude souligne l’intérêt d’intégrer la PC dans la prise en charge du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin et d’élaborer d’un protocole de traitement directement utilisable par les cliniciens.[Mindfulness-based therapy for women's Orgasmic Disorder] PURPOSE Orgasmic Disorder is one of the most common sexual women's difficulties. Mindfulness is often used in psychopathology and its effectiveness has been widely proven scientifically. The purpose of this article is to understand the interest to integrate mindfulness training in the treatment of female Orgasmic Disorder. In this perspective, we present a review of the literature on female Orgasm Disorder and its treatments. Moreover, mindfulness and its effectiveness for female sexual dysfunctions are addressed. The discussion highlights the value of integrating mindfulness into the treatment of female Orgasm Disorder. SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY A review of the literature about mindfulness and anorgania will be presented. We investinguate mostly studies from 1952 to 2018 using Scopus and ScincesDirect data base with the keywords Mindfulness, female Orgasmic Disorder, anOrgasmia, female sexual dysfonction. RESULTS Mindfulness is effective for many psychopathological Disorders and its use has extended to female sexual difficulties. While several treatments for anOrgasmia have focused on improving behavioral skills and reducing anxiety, few have focused on the cognitions and dysfunctional emotions that are responsible on the female orgsmic Disorder. The review of the literature shows that mindfulness improves all female sexual function. Furthermore, it would be interesting to integrate mindfulness for the female Orgasm Disorder and develop a specific treatment directly usable by clinicians. CONCLUSION Mindfulness includes exercises to develop abilities to achieve Orgasm. This study suggests that future research might develop a mindfulness-based therapy protocol to treat women's Orgasmic Disorder

Analyse processuelle des facteurs cognitifs du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin
'Elsevier BV', 2017Co-Authors: Adam Françoise, Day James, De Sutter Pascal, Brasseur ChristopheAbstract:OBJECTIFS : Cet article s’intéresse aux facteurs cognitifs responsables du trouble de l’Orgasme et plus spécifiquement à la distraction cognitive ainsi que le rôle de l’attention dans l’atteinte de l’Orgasme féminin. Le premier objectif est de présenter les déterminants du trouble de l’Orgasme et plus particulièrement les déterminants psychologiques. Le deuxième objectif est de présenter les facteurs cognitifs dans les dysfonctions sexuelles féminines en vue de mieux comprendre le rôle des schémas cognitifs sexuels, des pensées automatiques négatives et des émotions négatives associées. Ensuite, il définit et conceptualise la distraction cognitive d’après le modèle de Barlow (1986) afin d’évaluer son impact sur la réponse sexuelle féminine et plus particulièrement chez les femmes anOrgasmiques. Il présente aussi le rôle de l’attention dans l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. Finalement, il tente de concrétiser le cercle vicieux du trouble de l’Orgasme d’après une analyse processuelle. Cet article devrait permettre de réfléchir sur les stratégies sexothérapeutiques à mettre en place dans la prise charge du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODE : Analyse de la littérature de 1970 à 2015 dans la base de données scopus avec comme mots clefs : anOrgasmie, attention, distraction et dysfonction sexuelle. RÉSULTATS : Au regard de la littérature, les femmes anOrgasmiques présentent davantage d’autoschémas sexuels négatifs ainsi que des pensées et des émotions négatives qui interfèrent avec l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. Dans cette perspective, c’est l’analyse processuelle et non le diagnostic qui va guider les interventions sexothérapeutiques du trouble de l’Orgasme. Celles-ci devraient principalement se centrer sur les processus dysfonctionnels (évitement expérientiel, biais cognitifs attentionnels, gestion des pensées et émotions négatives) dans la perspective de diminuer l’appréhension anxieuse, les émotions secondaires et ainsi faciliter l’atteinte de l’Orgasme. CONCLUSION : Il serait intéressant dans les études futures de proposer des interventions basées sur la pleine conscience pour le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme. En effet, la similitude des processus en jeu laisse penser que ce type d’intervention pourrait être pertinent pour le traitement du trouble de l’Orgasme féminin.[Process-analysis of cognitive factors of female Orgasm Disorder] PURPOSE : This article focuses on the cognitive factors responsible for Orgasmic Disorder and, more specifically, on the cognitive distraction and the role of attention in achieving female Orgasm. First and foremost, we want to present the determinants of Orgasm Disorder and especially the psychological determinants. Secondly, we aim at presenting the cognitive factors in sexual dysfunctions in order to have a better understanding of the role of sexual cognitive patterns, negative automatic thoughts and associated negative emotions. Afterwards, this article defines and conceptualizes cognitive distraction following Barlow's model (1986). The purpose is to evaluate its impact on the female sexual response, with a particular emphasis on anOrgasmic women. It presents the role of attention in achieving Orgasm as well. Finally, one tries to present a concrete conceptualization of the Orgasm Disorder cycle of after a process-analysis. This article should raise reflection on sexotherapeutic strategies to implement in order to tackle female Orgasm Disorder. MATERIAL AND METHOD : An analysis of the literature since 1970 until 2015 in the scopus database with the following keywords: anOrgasmia, attention, distraction and sexual dysfunction. RESULTS : After a thorough review of the literature, it appears that anOrgasmic women have more negative sexual self-schemas as well as negative thoughts and emotions, which interferes with the Orgasm achievement. Bearing this in mind, it is the process-analysis, and not the diagnosis, that will guide sexotherapeutic interventions in Orgasmic Disorder. These should mainly focus on dysfunctional processes (experiential avoidance, cognitive attentional bias, dealing with negative thoughts and emotions) in order to reduce anxious apprehension, secondary emotions and therefore facilitate the achievement of Orgasm. CONCLUSION : In further studies, it would be interesting to propose full consciousness-based intervention to treat Orgasmic Disorder. Undeniably, the similarity of the processes suggests that this type of intervention could be relevant for the treatment of female Orgasm disorde

Understanding female Orgasm to better apprehend the Orgasm Disorder in women
Elsevier Masson, 2015Co-Authors: Adam Françoise, Day James, Thoveron Morgane, De Sutter PascalAbstract:Objectives: The initial section of this article gives an historical perspective to the concept of Orgasm. Various models of the female sexual response are then presented, with the objective of seeking a definition of the female Orgasm. Finally, the concept of female Orgasmic dysfunction is explored through the differing versions of DSM whilst providing a critical overview. Sources and methodology: Analysis of the literature from 1950 to 2013 using the Scopus database with the keywords: anOrgasmia; female and sexual dysfunction. Outcome: The data suggests there is no universally accepted definition of the female Orgasm to date (Mah and Binik, 2001). Numerous studies focus on the physiological aspect of the Orgasm whilst the psychological factors are researched to a lesser degree. The lack of a satisfactory definition of the Orgasm may be attributed to the limited understanding of its underlying mechanisms, and to the fact that the researchers are dependent on the women's subjective self-evaluation of the experience. Thus, the subject is complex, with some women incapable of giving expression to their Orgasmic experience or even recognising such climax. In some cases, this is because they have indeed never experienced one; in other cases, because they have not thought of it as an Orgasm. Orgasmic dysfunction or anOrgasmia is the second sexual problem most frequently encountered by women with a prevalence ranging from 25 (Lewis et al., 2010) to 31% (Hayes et al., 2006). Conclusion: It would be interesting for future studies to research the ways in which women experience at the cognitive and emotional level their sexual relations with their partner. This should enable us to better understand and define the female Orgasm but also to improve support for Orgasmic dysfunction
