Mary C. T...rsing (20 Sexual Disorders and Gender Dysphoia @ 237 i SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONS Sexual dysfunctions may occur in any phase of the sexual response cycle. Types of sexual dysfunctions include the following: 1. Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorders a. Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder: This disorder is characterized by a reduced or absent interest or pleasure in sexual activity (APA, 2013). The individual typically does not initiate sexual activity and is commonly unreceptive to partner's attempts to initiate. There is an absence of sexual thoughts or fantasies and absent or reduced arousal in re- sponse to sexual or erotic cues. The condition has persisted for at least 6 months and causes the individual significant distress. b. Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: This disorder is defined by the DSM-) as a persistent or recurrent defi- ciency or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. In making the judgment of deficiency or absence, the clinician considers factors that affect sexual functioning, such as age and circumstances of the person’s life (APA, 2013). The condition has persisted for at least 6 months and causes the individual significant distress. c. Erectile Disorder: Erectile disorder is characterized by marked difficulty in obtaining or maintaining an erection during sexual activity or a decrease in erectile rigidity that interferes with sexual activity (APA, 2013). The problem has persisted for at least 6 months and causes the individual significant distress. Primary erectile disorder refers to cases in which the man has never been able to have intercourse; sec- ondary erectile disorder refers to cases in which the man has difficulty getting or maintaining an erection but has been able to have vaginal or anal intercourse at least once. 2. Orgasmic Disorders a. Female Orgasmic Disorder: Female orgasmic disorder is defined by the DSM-5 as. a marked delay in, infrequency of, or absence of orgasm during sexual activity (APA, 2013). It may also be characterized by a reduced intensity of orgasmic sensation. The condition, which is sometimes referred to as anorgasmia, has lasted at least 6 months and causes the individual significant distress. Women who can achieve orgasm through noncoital clitoral stimulation but are not able to experience it during coitus in the absence of manual clitoral stimulation are not necessarily catego- rized as anorgasmic. A woman is considered to have primary orgasmic disorder when she has never experienced orgasm by any kind of stimulation. Secondary orgasmic disorder exists if the woman has experienced at least one [Projection of blame or responsibility for problems] [Rationalizing personal failures] [Hypersensitivity to slight criticism] [Grandiosity] Goals/Objectives Shart-term Goal Client will accept responsibility for and verbalize the connection between substance use or gambling behaviors and negative consequences, Long-term Goal By time of discharge, client will exhibit increased feelings of self- worth as evidenced by verbal expression of positive aspects about self, past accomplishments, and future prospects. Interventions With Selected Rationales 1. Be accepting of client and his or her negativism. Av attitude of acceptance enhances feelings of self-worth. 2. Spend time with client to convey acceptance and contribute toward feelings of self-worth, 3. Help client to recognize and focus on strengths and accom- plishments. Discuss past (real or perceived) negative conse- quences related to substance use or gambling, but minimize amount of attention devoted to them beyond client’s need to accept responsibility for them. Client must accept responsibility for own behavior before change in behavior can occur. Minimizing attention to past failures may help to eliminate negative ruminations and increase client's sense of self-worth. 4. Encourage participation in group activities from which client may receive positive feedback and support from peers. 5. Help client identify areas he or she would like to change about self and assist with problem-solving toward this effort. Low sedf~ worth may interfere with client’s perception of own problem-solving ability. Assistance may be required. 6. Ensure that client is not becoming increasingly dependent and that he or she is accepting responsibility for own behaviors. Client must be able to function independently if be or she is to be successful within the less- structured community environment. 7. Ensure that therapy groups offer client simple methods of achievement. Offer recognition and positive feedback for actual accomplishments. Successes and recognition increase self-esteem. ao % hd Alat Tampilan Mobile Bagi PDF ke DOC interaction. 2.
