This paper makes two basic conceptual suggestions that may encourage more meaningful studies of the effectiveness of sex therapy: (1) Dysfunctions consist of deficits of one or more of the basic components of sexual life: desire, arousal, orgasm, emotional satisfaction. (2) There are three distinct perspectives for determining therapeutic success--(a) reversal of the target component deficit, (b) absence of all of an individual's component deficits, and (c) absence of all component deficits in both partners. Follow-up data should be classified according to each perspective and presented separately. The "cure" rates diminish as the criteria for success become more stringent--i.e., moving from the first to the third perspective. The use of these perspectives highlights the strengths and limitations of current treatment techniques.
本文提出了两条基本的概念性建议，可能会鼓励对性治疗效果进行更有意义的研究：（1）性功能障碍由性生活一个或多个基本组成部分的缺失构成：欲望、唤起、高潮、情感满足。（2）有三种不同的视角来确定治疗成功——（a）目标组成部分缺失的逆转，（b）个体所有组成部分缺失的不存在，以及（c）双方所有组成部分缺失的不存在。随访数据应根据每个视角进行分类并分别呈现。随着成功标准变得更加严格，即从第一个视角到第三个视角，“治愈”率会降低。这些视角的使用突出了当前治疗技术的优势和局限性。
