Abstract
This paper describes a study in which marriage guidance counsellors were trained in the treatment of sexual difficulties. This study is discussed in the wider context of the literature concerned with training issues in the treatment of sexual function problems. The results of the training programme give clear evidence that non-professionals can be trained to produce results similar to those of a professional and it is argued that issues discussed in the literature concerning the training of professionals in the treatment of sexual difficulties are also applicable to non-professionals.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
