Synopsis

Sexual Development & Dysfunction is a comprehensive guide for mental health providers who are helping clients achieve healthy intimacy and sexuality. The guide achieves this through a new psychosexual developmental model, Sexual Interdependence Theory [SIT], and a cutting-edge intervention, Sexual Progression Approach [SPA].Sexual Interdependence Theory (SIT) is designed to fill a void in the treatment of psychologically-based sexual dysfunction. SIT provides comprehensive conceptualization of human sexuality by synthesizing developmental theories that have withstood the test of time.The Sexual Progression Approach (SPA) is SIT’s treatment companion. SPA is comprised of empirically-supported interventions developed specifically for each SIT stage. By following SPA, providers may help clients at varying levels of sexual dysfunction achieve sexual integrity—living in harmony with internalized, workable sexual and intimacy values.
