Systematic Review of Sexual Therapy for Individuals with Sexual Dysfunctions

Summary/Abstract: Sexual dysfunctions are included in the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria as a disorder that occurs in young adulthood after adolescence or after the start of a regular sexual life. These disorders, which may be of organic or psychological origin, are not expected to occur under the influence of another diagnosis. Sex therapy is a cognitive-behavioral-based psychotherapy method that is frequently used in clinics and hospitals today. In particular, it has an eclectic perspective rather than advancing in the light of a single theory or model. It is a treatment method that requires a holistic approach to the entire life of the individual and a broad perspective before the sexual problems experienced by the individual. The aim of this study is to examine sexual dysfunctions from the perspective of sexual therapies and to compile theoretical and quantitative studies systematically conducted in national and international literature. A systematic review method was used in this study. A literature review was conducted on the most recent studies conducted between 2011-2022. In order to compile the studies to be included in the research, Google Scholar, DergiPark, ScienceDirekt, Ulakbim, Yök Tez, PubMed and Near East Grand Library electronic databases were searched in Turkish and English. In the light of the determined criteria, a total of 6 studies were included. The results of this systematic review study suggest that sexual therapy is an effective intervention in minimizing SD and it becomes a factor that increases the functionality of the individual's sexual life.
