Abstract
So many patients who present with sexual diffculties cannot be treated successfully with the new sex therapies because of difficult interpersonal or intrapersonal stresses. This paper presents a system of interlocking group psychotherapies to help deal with the problems in such a way that the reversal of the sexual dysfunction can also be undertaken with one or several varieties of group therapy as the primary modality of treatment. Concomitant individual theapy sessions or conjoint therapy sessions are also held as needed. A dual sex therapy team approach is used in the group setting and the method has the additional advantage of allowing the two members of the treatment team to treat a large number of patients with marital and sexual diffculties in an ongoing therapy program.Keywords
