Social skills training as an adjunct to sex therapy
Abstract:
Many single men and women with sex problems lack the skills or confidence to meet potential partners and develop relationships. Social skills training is presented as a useful adjunct to sex therapy with such individuals. The relative strengths of group, workshop, and individual formats are discussed as well as screening procedures, important issues and methods in such training, and the results achieved by it. As more sex therapists break away from the couples model of treatment and work with men and women without partners, the need for social skills training will increase.
