The erotic factor as a complication in the dual-sex therapy team's effective functioning.

One of the most traditional modes of sex treatment involves the dual-sex therapy team. A team must face all the usual interpersonal hindrances to smooth therapeutic functioning; however, in sex treatment the erotic factor, due to the case content, becomes particularly significant. The tendency for cotherapists to view each other a "supersexed," as well as the communication difficulties intrinsic to the subject of sex, further complicates the cotherapists' interaction. This paper discusses some of the complex problems related to these issues and suggests procedures for resolution.
