Resisting the pressure to become a surrogate: a case study

S Greene

    Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    The surrogate role in sex therapy is stressful and often ineffective at resolving relationship issues. An alternative approach in Individual Sex Therapy (IST) offers a better way to manage relationship pressures for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Sex Therapy
    • Psychology
    • Human Sexuality

    Background:

    • Masters and Johnson's surrogate program involved surrogates attempting to manage patient relationship issues.
    • This approach aimed to reduce patient tension by bypassing difficult interpersonal dynamics.

    Observation:

    • Surrogates found their role to be inherently stressful.
    • Attempts to bypass relationship issues were often unsuccessful and provided limited therapeutic benefit.

    Findings:

    • The surrogate strategy frequently fails to alleviate patient pressure stemming from relationships.
    • A novel tactic within Individual Sex Therapy (IST) demonstrates a more effective method for countering such pressures.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest a need for revised therapeutic strategies in sex therapy.
    • Alternative methods like the one presented in IST may offer greater success in addressing complex patient relationship dynamics.
