Many single men and women with sex problems lack the skills or confidence to meet potential partners and develop relationships. Social skills training is presented as a useful adjunct to sex therapy with such individuals. The relative strengths of group, workshop, and individual formats are discussed as well as screening procedures, important issues and methods in such training, and the results achieved by it. As more sex therapists break away from the couples model of treatment and work with men and women without partners, the need for social skills training will increase.
许多有性问题的单身男女缺乏结识潜在伴侣和发展关系的技巧或信心。社交技能培训被视为对这类人群进行性治疗的有益辅助手段。文中讨论了团体、工作坊和个体形式的相对优势，以及此类培训中的筛选程序、重要问题和方法，还有培训所取得的成果。随着越来越多的性治疗师摆脱夫妻治疗模式，转而治疗没有伴侣的男女，对社交技能培训的需求将会增加。
