How does Sex Therapy differ from other types of therapy?
Sex therapy employs many of the same basic principles as the other therapeutic modalities, but is unique in that it is an approach developed specifically for the treatment of sexual issues. That is, sex therapy is a form of treatment used with one aspect of the wide range of human problems. Herein lies its value and also its limitations. Sex therapy techniques, when applied by an unskilled counselor or therapist, might focus too readily on mechanical sexual behavior, to the exclusion of the total individual and the total relationship.
