ABSTRACT
The goal of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of three therapeutic formats Standard Couple Therapy, Group Therapy, and Minimal Contact Bibliotherapy (self-help) in the treatment of 23 couples in which the wife was suffering from secondary orgasmic dysfunction. The results indicate that a cognitive-behavioral sex therapy program is clearly effective in changing a wide range of subjective satisfaction and behavioral measures, with concurrence of the husbands' and wives' data providing further strength to these findings. Differences in outcome which were elicited in the three experimental treatment conditions were mainly in favor of the Standard Couple condition. Since such differences were neither frequent nor great, practical issues related to increasing the effectiveness of less time-consuming treatment formats are discussed. In addition, the theoretical implications of using global versus specific therapy outcome criteria are explored.
