GROUP THERAPY IN SEXUAL MALADJUSTMENT
Abstract
Group therapy in sexual maladjustment is a feasible and useful method. In some cases, it actually brings about a complete solution; in others, it serves to crystallize rapidly the areas of conflict. It affords the benefit that verbalization and catharsis have in clarifying a confusing problem. It relieves the feeling of inadequacy and isolation and provides an incentive for accepting a varying response. The group technique also emphasizes the universality of basic needs, as well as the uniqueness of the individual, and the resulting differences in behavior and attitudes to the same situation. This form of therapy, furthermore, offers a fertile field for research in the problems of sexual and other marital maladjustments, and can also be utilized in the training of students in the problems of marriage and the family.
