SEXUAL DISORDERS AND GENDER-IDENTITY DISORDER A. Sexual behavior is a major focus of both our private thoughts and public discussions B. Experts recognize two general categories of sexual disorders: 1. Sexual dysfunctions—problems with sexual responses 2. Paraphilias—repeated and intense sexual urges and fantasies to socially inappropri- ate objects or situations C. In addition to the sexual disorders, DSM includes a diagnosis called gender identity dis- order, a sex-related pattern in which people feel that they have been assigned to the wrong sex D. Relatively little is known about racial and other cultural differences in sexuality 1. Sex therapists and sex researchers have only recently begun to attend systematically to the importance of culture and race II. SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONS A. Sexual dysfunctions are disorders in which people cannot respond normally in key areas of sexual functioning 1. As many as 31 percent of men and 43 percent of women in the United States suffer from such a dysfunction during their lives 2. Sexual dysfunctions typically are very distressing and often lead to sexual frustra- tion, guilt, loss of self-esteem, and interpersonal problems 3. -
Effects of Expressive Writing on Sexual Dysfunction, Depression, and PTSD in Women with a History of Childhood Sexual Abuse: Results from a Randomized Clinical Trial
2177 ORIGINAL RESEARCH—PSYCHOLOGY Effects of Expressive Writing on Sexual Dysfunction, Depression, and PTSD in Women with a History of Childhood Sexual Abuse: Results from a Randomized Clinical Trial Cindy M. Meston, PhD, Tierney A. Lorenz, MA, and Kyle R. Stephenson, MA Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA DOI: 10.1111/jsm.12247 ABSTRACT Introduction. Women with a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) have high rates of depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and sexual problems in adulthood. Aim. We tested an expressive writing-based intervention for its effects on psychopathology, sexual function, satisfaction, and distress in women who have a history of CSA. Methods. Seventy women with CSA histories completed five 30-minute sessions of expressive writing, either with a trauma focus or a sexual schema focus. Main Outcome Measures. Validated self-report measures of psychopathology and sexual function were conducted at posttreatment: 2 weeks, 1 month, and 6 months. Results. Women in both writing interventions exhibited improved symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Women who were instructed to write about the impact of the abuse on their sexual schema were significantly more likely to recover from sexual dysfunction. Conclusions. Expressive writing may improve depressive and PTSD symptoms in women with CSA histories. Sexual schema-focused expressive writing in particular appears to improve sexual problems, especially for depressed women with CSA histories. Both treatments are accessible, cost-effective, and acceptable to patients. Meston CM, Lorenz TA, and Stephenson KR.

Downloaded by [New York University] at 04:59 12 August 2016 “I strongly recommend this expert clinical guide to the psychological treat- ment of obsessive compulsive disorders. The depth of Dr. Sookman’s clinical experience and her command of the literature are evident in the thorough coverage of assessment procedures, how to optimize the effects of therapy and deal with problems. The numerous case illustrations are well-chosen and clearly described.” —S. Rachman, Emeritus Professor, Institute of Psychiatry, London University, and University of British Columbia. “Specialized Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: An Expert Clinician Guidebook by Dr. Debbie Sookman is an outstanding contribution to the science and clinical practice related to the full range of Obsessive Com- pulsive Disorder. This is an excellent book in every way imaginable. Clearly written and organized, Sookman provides a critical and scholarly review of the state of the art on OCD. Every researcher and clinician can benefit from this superb book. The reader benefits from the considerable clinical expe- rience and scholarship that Dr Sookman possesses, while learning specific and powerful tools in helping those who suffer from OCD. Case examples illustrate the importance of conceptualization and the value of empirically supported treatments. I am particularly impressed that Sookman was able to balance such sophistication in her critical and scientific understanding of OCD, while still writing a clear and concise book on the topic. This is a book I will recommend to both beginning clinicians in training and to seasoned researchers and practitioners.” —Robert L.

International Journal of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences 2020, 10(3): 51-62 DOI: 10.5923/j.ijpbs.20201003.01 Obsessions and Musical Hallucinations: The Neurobiology Underlying a Differential Diagnosis Mayra E. Dávila-Rivera, Hilda M. Rivera-Marín* Albizu University, San Juan Campus, San Juan, Puerto Rico Abstract This literature review has the purpose of establishing the difference between comorbid disorders with musical obsessions and hallucinations from a neurobiological perspective. Musical obsessions and hallucinations are unusual, with limited research, and their prevalence is underestimated [1,2]. Their pathological etiology can be confusing since it can fall within psychiatry, neurology and biology due to its symptomatic comorbidity; and it may not be recognized as generating suffering for the patient [1]. Neurobiology has made it possible to increase our knowledge of brain structures or circuits responsible for the behavior of subjects who suffer related disorders. Musical obsessions and hallucinations are disabling as they are detrimental to quality of life. Due to new discoveries in the different scientific disciplines, health professionals will establish a differential diagnosis, adequately address primary and underlying pathologies, and also facilitate the implementation of effective evidence-based models. Keywords Disorders, Musical hallucinations, Musical obsessions, Neurobiology 1. Introduction which are unattractive as a clinical research focus [9]. These conditions are chronic and disabling characterized by their Research has identified various disorders sharing similar low prevalence (less than 1,200 individuals), and high characteristics within the neurobiological model of the morbidity. They are scarcely researched, with more than prefrontal cortex.

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in Females
Running head: FEMALE HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER 1 Female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder A Summary Paper Presented to The Faculty of the Adler Graduate School ___________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy __________________ By: Mera Le Colling October 2011 FEMALE HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER 2 Abstract Hypoactive sexual desire disorder is the most prevalent sexual disorder in women, and one of the most challenging to overcome. This paper discusses the current definition for HSDD, the prevalence of HSDD in women, definitions of sexual health and sexual desire, sexual myths and HSDD, and criticisms around creating sexual norms and ideals related to HSDD. This paper will also discuss physical vs. psychological arousal in women, physical, psychological, and relational aspects of HSDD, male HSDD, an Adlerian perspective of HSDD, theories of desire, and proposed definitions of female HSDD including a proposed DSM-V revision of HSDD. Treatment options discussed include hormonal, antidepressant, herbal, CBT, and mindfulness. FEMALE HYPOACTIVE SEXUAL DESIRE DISORDER 3 Acknowledgments I would like to thank Professor Jere Truer for his guidance and encouragement in the selection of my master’s project. I would also like to thank Earl Heinrich for his ongoing assistance throughout my time at Adler Graduate School. Herb Laube, as both my master’s project reader and as my instructor in many classes, did much to mold my interest in psychology and human sexuality. I also wish to acknowledge the role my family played in my education, specifically Henrietta Truh and Lois Truh, my maternal grandmother and mother. -

MESTON Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas, USA On the basis of literature that suggests that child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have higher baseline sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity than healthy controls and research that suggests that the SNS plays a critical role in female physiological sexual arousal, we examined the impact of SNS activation through intense exercise on sexual arousal in women with CSA and PTSD. We measured physiological and sub- jective sexual arousal in women with CSA (n = 8), women with CSA and PTSD (n = 10), and healthy controls (n = 10) during exposure to nonerotic and erotic videos. -
