The focus of this paper is on the adult who has adequately mastered the oedipal stage of psychosexual development and who presents with a sexual dysfunction. Drawing on the developmental sequence of Erik Erikson, the authors suggest that failure to address adequately an adult psychosocial crisis may result in sexual dysfunction. There may be both adult developmental deficits and regression to adolescent and adult stages previously negotiated. Both may be symptomatically represented by sexual dysfunction. The authors urge that the sexual and marital problems be evaluated within an adult developmental framework and that the therapy address the psychosocial issues which are appropriate to the developmental stage of the patient.
本文的重点是那些已充分度过性心理发展俄狄浦斯阶段且出现性功能障碍的成年人。作者借鉴埃里克·埃里克森的发展序列，认为未能充分解决成年人的心理社会危机可能导致性功能障碍。可能存在成人发展缺陷以及向先前已度过的青少年和成人阶段的退行。两者都可能在性功能障碍中表现为症状。作者敦促在成人发展框架内评估性和婚姻问题，并且治疗应解决适合患者发展阶段的心理社会问题。
