Sexual Dysfunction is when a couple or person presents problems with their sexual physical intimacy. Too often the therapist and client will focus on the activity or genitalia. The issue is never so simple and has many aspects to it. The systemic approach to dysfunction is exploratory with a wide ranging focus. It avoids oversimplifying and includes physical aspects as part of an emotional, psychological and spiritual whole.
