Whatever type of practice he may have, the physician is confronted daily with an increasingly important demand for help concerning sexual problems, be they "masked" in terms of functional symptomatology, or be they openly "verbalised" as sexual difficulties. Possessing no real sexological background, [corrected] and having merely heard of "methods", without knowing either their bases or their qualities, the physician is not capable of responding in more than a minimally effective manner. Confronted with this need, american researchers have perfected, with Masters and Johnson, new techniques which have been borne out by their statistical results. The originality of these techniques lies in their being carried out by a couple, centered around the relation of the solliciting couple, and aiming at a psychosensorial reeducation. If the application of such methods, as well as sexology research and training, is still timid in Western Europe, their importance is no way lessened. They represent, in fact, for the psychiatrist, a new way of approaching sexuality, by means of: --medical team work; --"manipulation" of body language; --and perhaps, also... reality.
无论医生从事何种类型的业务，他每天都会面临对性问题帮助的日益重要的需求，这些问题无论是以功能症状学的形式“隐藏”起来，还是以性困难的形式公开“表达”出来。由于没有真正的性学背景，[已修正]并且仅仅听说过“方法”，却既不了解其基础也不了解其性质，医生无法以超过最低有效程度的方式做出回应。面对这种需求，美国研究人员与马斯特斯和约翰逊一起完善了新技术，这些技术已被他们的统计结果所证实。这些技术的独特之处在于它们由一对夫妇进行，围绕求爱夫妇的关系展开，并旨在进行心理感觉再教育。如果说在西欧，此类方法的应用以及性学研究和培训仍然较为谨慎，但其重要性丝毫未减。事实上，对于精神科医生而言，它们代表了一种通过以下方式处理性问题的新途径：——医疗团队协作；——对身体语言的“操控”；——或许还有……现实。
