Abstract
This article describes techniques and therapy strategies to address the chronic sexual dysfunctions that are inherent in couples who are recovering from sex addiction and sex co-addiction and from the underlying sexual trauma that gives fuel to the sexual disorders. Often the therapist and couples experience frustration and high anxiety when relapses occur. A method for teaching, assessing, and intervening, and making ongoing evaluations of couples' sexuality is described, and a case illustration is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this model, called the Manley model of positive sexuality.
