Sexual Dysfunction Disorders...


Do you feel that a client with a sexual dysfunction disorder would respond to therapy differently than a person with a paraphilic disorder? What are unique issues related to treating each disorder?

The short answer is yes…Sexual dysfunctions include delayed ejaculation, erectile disorder, female orgasmic disorder, female sexual interest/arousal disorder, Genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, male hypoactive sexual desire disorder, premature (early) ejaculation, substance/medication-induced sexual dysfunction, another specified sexual dysfunction, and unspecified sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunctions are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are typically characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in a person’s ability to respond sexually or to experience sexual pleasure. An individual may have several sexual dysfunctions at the same time. In such cases, all of the dysfunctions should be diagnosed. These are not the same desires in Paraphilia cases. This therapy can be done and if right can help in most of these causes. Medical attention also used in this type of help because if a person has endometriosis this can be handled through a Gynecologist.
 If a paraphilia causes distress or impairment to the individual or if its satisfaction entails personal harm (or the risk of such harm) to others, it is considered a paraphilic disorder. This criminal behavior at times and has to be treated with therapy and legal means. People with paraphilic disorders may be difficult to interview because of guilt and reluctance to share information openly with the interviewer. It is essential to establish rapport with these patients to allow them to talk more freely about their disorder. In other words, they will feel more embraced by their behavior then a person with a sexual disorder because of the acts they commit to get off. (Sorry for being so blunt).
