Abstract

The evaluation results of a short term intensive sex dysfunction workshop are presented. The evaluation research design involves before and after measures of sexual behaviors, sexual expectations, sexual communication, and marital communication. The results indicate that participants changed with regard to each of these variables. The workshop appears to impact couples in three ways: (1) there is a narrowing of the gap between actual and desired sexual behaviors, (2) there is improved sexual communication, and (3) there is improved marital communication. The results indicate that a combination of group instruction and individual therapy is an effective intervention technique in treating couples with sexual problems.
