Abstract
Testing a hypothesis made by Kaplan, the study investigates empirical differences between women diagnosed as “sexually unresponsive” (N = 50) vs. “orgastically dysfunctional” (N = 55). Treatment was carried out in the form of couples' therapy. The two groups show significant differences with regard to occupation (sexually unresponsive women are more frequently housewives), sexual behaviour (sexually unresponsive women have a more restricted sexual life), self-perception (sexually unresponsive women describe themselves as more timid, reserved and inhibited), and sexual attitude (sexually unresponsive women are more restrictive). Therapy success and one-year follow-up show no differences between the two groups.
