title: A technique of sexual counselling.
abstract: A method of sexual counselling based on the technique originally proposed by Masters and Johnson but modified to suit local conditions is described. The method is basically "client-centred" and depends on interviewing both partners of a sexually inadequate relationship so that the clients themselves set the level of desired sexual achievement. Factors which may inhibit a sexual relationship are explored, particularly those involving cultural, moral, religious, education or financial matters. Ejaculatory problems and orgasmic dysfunction are treated in the manner described by Masters and Johnson, whilst other interpersonal and communicative problems are handled by making use of Kagan's Interpersonal Recall snselling clinics are discussed.
