A Behavioral Group Treatment Program for Sexually Dysfunctional Couples *

A Behavioral Group Treatment Program for Sexually Dysfunctional Couples * A behavioral treatment program, previously effective with individual couples, was designed for a group setting. Four couples were treated in a group format for primary inorgasmic dysfunctions and premature ejaculation. Results indicated a high degree of success. This preliminary study, then, suggests that group treatment for sexually dysfunctional couples can be an effective treatment mode with specific advantages over individual therapy. Several possible problems with this treatment mode were discussed, including the possibility that the overall reinforcement value of the group process was underestimated. This variable should be carefully examined by other therapists utilizing group treatment procedures for couples with sexual dysfunctional problems, along with continuing efforts to reduce treatment time. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Marital and Family Therapy Wiley

Abstract

A behavioral treatment program, previously effective with individual couples, was designed for a group setting. Four couples were treated in a group format for primary inorgasmic dysfunctions and premature ejaculation. Results indicated a high degree of success. This preliminary study, then, suggests that group treatment for sexually dysfunctional couples can be an effective treatment mode with specific advantages over individual therapy. Several possible problems with this treatment mode were discussed, including the possibility that the overall reinforcement value of the group process was underestimated. This variable should be carefully examined by other therapists utilizing group treatment procedures for couples with sexual dysfunctional problems, along with continuing efforts to reduce treatment time.
