摘要

Sexual dysfunctions affect a relevant portion of the general population, yet patients rarely proactively raise the issue. They are characterized by impairments in the phases of sexual desire, arousal, orgasm or by genito-pelvic pain and are associated with clinically relevant distress. This review article outlines similarities and differences in the classification of sexual dysfunctions according to ICD-10 and ICD-11. In addition to biological risk factors, psychosocial and cognitive factors are examined, including performance-related anxiety and dysfunctional sexual scripts. Relevant models of sexual dysfunction are presented within a framework of interacting biological, psychological and relational conditions. Psychotherapeutic approaches are outlined, including the Permission giving, Limited Information, Specific Suggestions, Intensive Therapy (PLISSIT) model, disorder-specific interventions (e.g., sensate focus, stop-start techniques) and sex therapy strategies aimed at enhancing intimacy and communication. Finally, implications for the psychotherapeutic practice are outlined.
