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.

a. Encourage the child to engage in activities in which he or
she is likely to achieve success.
b. Help the child to focus on aspects of his or her life for
which positive feelings exist. Discourage rumination about
situations that are perceived as failures or over which the
client has no control. Give positive feedback for theseb. Family Influences: Several theories exist that relate the
development of separation anxiety to the following dynam-
ics within the famil
* Overattachment to the mother (primary care;
Separation conflicts between parent and c
Enmeshment of members within a family
Overprotection of the child by the parents

directed toward the father, siblings, or other significant
individual to whom the child is attached.
. Anticipation of separation may result in tantrums, erying,
screaming, complaints of physical problems, and clinging
behaviors.
3. Reluctance or refusal to attend school is especially common in
adolescence.
4. Younger children may “shadow” or follow around the person
from whom they are afraid to be separated.
5. During middle childhood or adolescence, they may refuse to
sleep away from home (e.g., at a friend’s house or at camp).
6. Worrying is common and relates to the possibility of harm
coming to self or to the attachment figure. Younger children
may have nightmares to this effect.
7. Specific phobias may be present.
8. Depressed mood is frequently present and often precedes the
onset of the anxiety symptoms, which commonly occur follow-
ing a major stressor.

3. Encourage client’s attempts to communicate. If verbalizations
are not understandable, express to client what you think he
or she intended to say. It may be necessary to reorient client
frequently. The ability to conrmunicate effectively with others may
enhance self-esteent.
4. Encourage reminiscence and discussion of life review. Also
discuss present-day events. Sharing picture albums, if possi-
ble, is especially good. Reminiscence and life review help the
client resume progression through the grief process associated with
disappointing life events and increase self-esteem as successes are
reviewed,
. Encourage participation in group activities. Caregiver may
need to accompany client at first, until he or she feels secure
that the group members will be accepting, regardless of limi-
tations in verbal communication. Positive feedback from group
members will increase self-esteem.
