  • What's new in Sex Therapy (CME).
    The journal of sexual medicine, 2010
    Co-Authors: Stanley E. Althof
    Abstract:

    "Is there anything new in Sex Therapy?" Has the field of Sex Therapy been stagnating and failing to develop new treatments? Clearly, the important pharmaceutical advances of the past 11 years have overshadowed the developments in the field of Sex Therapy. The goal of this manuscript is to call attention to the recent innovations in the field of Sex Therapy. Review of the literature. There are four candidates to consider: (i) combination medical and psychological Therapy; (ii) the technique of mindfulness for women with complaints of arousal disorder and low Sexual desire; (iii) Internet Sexual Therapy and; and (iv) reconceptualization of genital pain and psychological interventions for women with these complaints. This article reviews the literature in these areas and offers commentary regarding the benefits and limitations of the research. Finally, future directions for research in these four areas are discussed. Psychological innovation and intervention remains a vital aspect in the field of Sexual medicine. New methods continue to be developed and appraised and the methodology, design, and sophistication of Sex Therapy outcome research have significantly advanced.

  • Developments and Trends in Sex Therapy
    Advances in psychosomatic medicine, 2011
    Co-Authors: Marta Meana, Sarah C. Jones
    Abstract:

    Recent developments and trends in Sex Therapy are reviewed and assessed. Major trends identified are: (1) multidisciplinarity in the treatment of Sexual problems, whereby psychological interventions are combined with medical and other types of treatment (e.g. physical Therapy); (2) systemic and theoretical integration, as evidenced by an emphasis on contextual influences on Sexual responses and an openness to different theoretical perspectives; (3) a shift in focus from Sexual function to Sexual satisfaction and eroticism; (4) an emphasis on age and the aligning of expectations to reality; (5) the impact and applications of new technologies, and (6) progress toward the recognition of diversity in the human Sexual experience. The overall challenge to Sex Therapy is to address the complexity of Sexual problems in ways that are considered feasible to a public with limited time and resources.

  • the future of Sex Therapy specialization or marginalization
    Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2009
    Co-Authors: Yitzchak M Binik, Marta Meana
    Abstract:

    Sex Therapy’s claims to specialization may be exaggerated and ultimately damaging to the integrated treatment of Sexual dysfunction. In fact, Sex Therapy does not have a unified underlying theory, a unique set of practices, or an empirically demonstrated efficacious treatment outcome. Paradoxically, the practice of Sex Therapy has gained widespread professional and popular acceptance since the publication in 1970 of Human Sexual Inadequacy by Masters and Johnson. Consequences of the widespread acceptance of this supposed specialization include the marginalization of Sex Therapy from other forms of treatment and the perpetuation of the notion that Sex Therapy is a special form of Therapy requiring highly specialized training. This specialization focus also helps to perpetuate societal discomfort with Sexuality. The very modest empirical success of most so-called Sex Therapy interventions and the lack of theoretical development suggest that Sex Therapy needs a recalibration in order to survive. It is suggested that the treatment of Sexual dysfunction be integrated into the general psychoTherapy enterprise and into a multidisciplinary biopsychosocial framework.

  • Treatment of Sexual dysfunctions by Sex Therapy and other approaches.
    The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science, 1995
    Co-Authors: Keith Hawton
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND The treatment of Sexual dysfunctions underwent a great change when Sex Therapy was developed more than 25 years ago. Since then the treatment programme has been modified in various ways, the response to treatment evaluated and other treatment approaches introduced. METHOD A review of the literature concerning the application and outcome of Sex Therapy and other treatments for Sexual dysfunction was conducted. RESULTS The format of effective conjoint Sex Therapy is now fairly clear and there is good understanding of the Sexual dysfunctions that respond best to this treatment and the couples most likely to benefit. Less is known about the effects of treatment of individuals without partners, biblioTherapy and combining Sex Therapy with marital Therapy and with physical methods of treatment. CONCLUSIONS Sex Therapy is now a well-established form of treatment. It should be more widely available for patients seen in psychiatry departments.

  • Sex Therapy
    Behavioural Psychotherapy, 1991
    Co-Authors: Keith Hawton
    Abstract:

    The introduction of Sex Therapy two decades ago was accompanied by largely uncritical enthusiasm, with the result that too few careful evaluative studies were conducted. Those that were indicated that a weekly or twice weekly schedule of treatment sessions was best and that treatment by individual therapists was as effective as co-Therapy. Some of the major prognostic factors and the long-term results of Sex Therapy have now been elucidated. Low Sexual desire has emerged as a problem for which our now traditional methods of treatment are often inadequate and new therapeutic approaches are required. Current efforts to explore the beliefs and cognitive processes associated with erectile dysfunction are proving rewarding and are likely to enrich therapeutic interventions in the future. Attention should now be paid to the beliefs and cognitions associated with other Sexual dysfunctions, both male and female.
