title: Behaviour therapy for psychosexual dysfunction.
abstract: Behaviour therapy is defined, and the therapeutic approach evolved by Masters and Johnson described. Their key concept of the desirability of treating couples and using co-therapists is evaluated in the light of research findings. It would seem that co-therapy is desirable, but a single therapist can do useful work with a single patient, a couple, or a group of couples using a behaviour therapy framework. Two illustrative cases are described.
