The couple with a sex dysfunction is at an impasse. The natural process of sexual self-regulation is interrupted by the self. Growth requires experimenting with new solutions for unsolved problems. The gestalt experiment is a major modality of treatment applicable to sex therapy. To experiment is to invent and discover solutions and to find and make meanings. In posing an experiment, the therapist attempts to create a safe emergency in which risk and support are balanced, permitting the person to stay with the mounting excitement and coming solution. An atmosphere of playfulness and creativity invites experimentation. Thorough familiarity with modes and methods of experimenting permits the therapist's creativity to emerge. Applications of sexual metaphors and sex dysfunction as a nightmare are presented which use methods drawn from gestalt dream work. The use of gestalt experiments are illustrated in a client-therapist dialogue.
患有性功能障碍的夫妻陷入了僵局。性自我调节的自然过程被自我打断。成长需要尝试解决未解决问题的新方法。格式塔实验是适用于性治疗的一种主要治疗方式。进行实验就是发明和发现解决方案，寻找并赋予意义。在提出一个实验时，治疗师试图营造一种安全的紧急状态，在这种状态下风险和支持达到平衡，使个体能够承受不断增加的兴奋感并迎来解决方案。一种嬉戏和创造性的氛围会激发实验。对实验模式和方法的透彻熟悉能让治疗师发挥出创造力。文中呈现了性隐喻的应用以及将性功能障碍视为噩梦的情况，这些都运用了格式塔梦的工作方法。在一段来访者与治疗师的对话中展示了格式塔实验的运用。
