The “Classic” Dysfunctions - The PLISSIT Model of Sex Therapy

Many years ago, the American psychologist Jack Annon (1929-2005) developed a simple model illustrating the fact that most people with sexual problems do not need an intensive course of therapy. He used the acronym PLISSIT for four basic forms of sex therapy: Permission, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, and Intensive Therapy (Jack Annon, "Behavioral Treatment of Sexual Problems", 2 vols., Harper & Row - Medical Department, 1976)
