Abstract
This paper describes a structured, time-limited method for treating couples in which both people are experiencing sexual dysfunctions. In our previous research, we found that group treatment was as effective as single-couple treatment for treating men experiencing premature ejaculation and women experiencing secondary orgasmic dysfunction. In this article we have described our procedures for evaluating and selecting group participants, our 12-week structured group treatment format, the group process, common problems and resistances, and our methods for assessing treatment outcome. Our structured group treatment approach is a cost efficient and effective method for treating the many couples experiencing sexual dysfunctions.Keywords
