“…The approach has been successfully employed to understand patient and therapist perspectives of a range of conditions. For example, interpretative phenomenological analysis has highlighted those factors influencing the incidence of premature ejaculation, the impact of the condition on partners, and barriers to effective assessment and diagnosis (Brewer & Tidy, 2016).…”

Sexual addiction may be defined as sexual behaviour that is "compulsive and yet continues despite adverse consequences" (Carnes & Adams, 2013, p5). Knowledge and understanding of sexual addiction has been impaired by the use of multiple labels, definitions, and assessment procedures, hence the present study investigated therapist perspectives and experiences of assessing and treating the condition. Interviews were conducted with nine Psychosexual Therapists and subjected to Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis. Three superordinate themes emerged from the analysis. These were Distress, Risk, and Treatment. The Distress theme included three subthemes: Stress and Coping; Suicidal Ideation; and Partner Experience. Three subthemes formed the Risk theme: Physical Safety; Disease, Dysfunctions, and Pregnancy; and Co-Addiction. The Treatment theme contained three sub-themes: Awareness; Assessment and Diagnosis; and Successful Therapy. Findings have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of sexual addiction. Future research should investigate these themes further and introduce interventions to support the safety and well-being of sexual addiction clients.

“…These are commonly written by authors who are both researchers and practitioners (Brooks, 2010;Englar-Carlson, 2014;Pollack & Levant, 1998), with most produced from a North American context (Beel, Jeffries, Brownlow, Winterbotham, & du Preez, 2018). Another source of recommendations and practice wisdom is from therapists (Brewer & Tidy, 2017).…”

Many of the contemporary treatment recommendations and guides for adapting therapy for men originates from the context of the United States. This qualitative study invited 15 Australian therapists, who advertised themselves as working with men, to describe their recommendations for male-friendly counseling. Three themes and 14 subthemes were identified, each explained from an understanding of their male client group's experiences and common male norms. The themes included ensuring a safe space, to enact masculinityinformed respect, and to enhance client awareness and motivation. Therapists' suggestions for working with Australian men were congruent with recommendations in the existing literature, however variations were noted in how traditionally masculine or feminineconsistent their emphasis was.

“…Systematic research on therapist's fears and perspectives in treating different sexual dysfunctions may bring up issues, if there are any, that are peculiar to our cultural context and milieu. 19,20 Traversing Through a Newer Path From a professional perspective there are a good number of clients who require help to resolve their problems related to sexuality in both urban 21 and rural areas. 22 Therefore, the prospective clinical psychologists and counseling psychologists irrespective of their work setting need to be equipped to take up the challenge.…”

Has the Kama Sutra Not Made a Difference? Making Psychologists in India Explore Sexual Functioning and Master Sex Therapy

There is no dearth of web-based scientific information on sexuality and related matters, and it is shared in private social groups. Yet there appears to be a resistance on the part of psychologists in India in exploring the sexual functioning of clients. This article explores the possible reasons for the neglect that prevails and the consequences. Since, psychologists who are qualified in helping avoid addressing the sexual concerns of the people, it leads to widespread “malpractice” by the quacks. Neglect in identifying the underlying sexual problems that are manifested as various somatoform disorders and other medically unexplainable symptoms leads to emotional distress of the clients and increases the health costs. Hesitation and the “taboo” of the psychologists hinder the therapeutic contact between the therapists and the clients and, hence, people do not disclose their sexual concerns and problems. Personal discomfort of psychology trainees due to “unfinished business,” inadequate input on the role of sexual functioning and the inadequate exposure to people with sexual concerns may have contributed to this impasse. Supervised training of upcoming psychologists would help improve the quality of sexual life of people of all ages and prevent children and adolescents from sexual abuse. The need for using the ancient Indian masterpiece of sexual science, Kama Sutra, in getting over the taboo is also recommended.
