Abstract
The author explores the use of a feminist model of assessment for application to couples presenting with a sexual problem. Congruent with feminist values and critiques of the medical model of sex therapy, the model incorporates issues of power, privilege, values, and gender organization and emphasizes the context of both therapist and client as they apply to sex therapy. A case study of a couple presenting with differences in sexual desire highlights the expanding views regarding sex and gender and movement towards new sexual and relational possibilities through the goals of the model, doi: 10.1300/J086vl9n02_01
