History-taking in sex counseling.
A formula for obtaining a sexual history that has both diagnostic and therapeutic significance has been presented. By utilizing the relationship between effective stimulation of a sufficient quantity in a nuturing environment, the physician will be able to clarify what has either caused or is maintaining the sexual difficulty. It will be most beneficial if the physician explains the history-taking approach to the woman. In this way she can see how her answers relate to the problem and to the direction of treatment. A history-taking approach structured in this manner is most helpful to the physician and the woman.
