Marital couples not experiencing a satisfying sexual relationship are less satisfied in their overall relationship. There is, however, a paucity of controlled outcome studies researching the effectiveness of sex therapy interventions. This study was a pilot investigation of a new manual-based sex therapy called the EIS (empathy, intimacy, and sexual satisfaction) model. Results showed significant improvement in sexual and marital satisfaction, marital intimacy, and verbal sexual intimacy for men and women, and sexual function for women. Effect sizes were large for these variables and posttreatment differences. Results provide initial support for the theory and interventions of the EIS model. Treatment should include addressing vulnerable communication, relational intimacy, conflict resolution, sexual functioning, sexual medicine care, and sensual and sexual skills.
婚姻关系中，如果夫妻双方无法获得满意的性生活，他们对整体关系的满意度也会降低。然而，目前缺乏对性治疗干预措施有效性的对照研究。本研究旨在对一种新的基于手册的性治疗方法（EIS 模型）进行初步探索。结果表明，对于男性和女性来说，这种新方法在性和婚姻满意度、婚姻亲密感、言语性亲密感以及女性性功能方面均有显著改善。这些变量以及治疗后差异的效果量都很大。研究结果为 EIS 模型的理论和干预措施提供了初步支持。治疗应包括解决脆弱的沟通、关系亲密、冲突解决、性功能、性医学护理以及感觉和性技能等问题。
