The Treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions - Diagnosis

Sex History

Comparing Sex Histories
Comparing the two sex histories of a couple can yield valuable clues not only about the possible causes of sexual dysfunctions, but also about the most promising treatment. This does not mean that the therapist must disclose such clues to the couple. Still, in some cases it may be useful to encourage one of the partners to disclose certain previously hidden parts of his or her sex history to the other. However, this must always be the client's own decision.
