Of 52 couples requesting treatment for sexual disorders, 16 were treated
in accordance with the protocol of Masters and Johnson except that most
were seen once a week for 10 or more weeks rather than daily for a briefer
period. The treatment results were less successful than those obtained by
Masters and Johnson. The authors believe that the successes of this
approach nonetheless suggest a need to reevaluate the degree to which
sexual problems may be conditioned responses. They also stress the need for
specifying the degree of improvement among nonfailures for purposes of
comparison and follow-up.Abstract Teaser
