This study examines the effectiveness of bibliotherapy for low sexual desire among women, which is the most frequent sexual concern brought to counselors. Forty-five women responded to an advertisement for participation in a study on low sexual desire and were assigned to either the intervention or the wait-list control group. The intervention group completed the Hurlbert Index of Sexual Desire (HISD; Apt & Hurlbert, 1992) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI; R. Rosen et al., 2000), read the self-help book under study in 6 weeks, and completed the measures a second time. The control group completed the same measures 6 weeks apart. Results demonstrated that the intervention group made statistically greater gains over time as compared with the control group on measures of sexual desire (HISD and FSFI Desire subscale), sexual arousal (FSFI Arousal subscale), sexual satisfaction (FSFI Satisfaction subscale), and overall sexual functioning (FSFI Total Score). A subset of participants in the intervention group participated in a 7-week follow-up study, and these participants maintained their gains in sexual desire and overall sexual functioning. Findings have important implications for future research on the efficacy of bibliotherapy generally and for low sexual desire specifically. Results also have vital implications for the treatment of low sexual desire.
本研究考察了图书疗法对女性低性欲的有效性，这是咨询中最常见的性问题。45 名女性对一项关于低性欲的研究广告做出回应，并被分配到干预组或等待名单对照组。干预组完成了赫伯特性欲指数（HISD；Apt 和 Hurlbert，1992）和女性性功能指数（FSFI；R. Rosen 等人，2000），在 6 周内阅读了研究中的自助书籍，并第二次完成了这些措施。对照组在 6 周后完成了相同的措施。结果表明，与对照组相比，干预组在性欲（HISD 和 FSFI 欲望子量表）、性唤起（FSFI 唤起子量表）、性满足（FSFI 满意度子量表）和整体性功能（FSFI 总分）方面的得分随着时间的推移有统计学上的显著提高。干预组的一部分参与者参加了为期 7 周的随访研究，这些参与者保持了他们在性欲和整体性功能方面的提高。研究结果对图书疗法的一般疗效以及对低性欲的具体疗效的未来研究具有重要意义。结果也对低性欲的治疗具有重要意义。
