title: Group treatment of sexual dysfunction in men without partners.
abstract: This paper describes various group techniques used to treat sexually dysfunctional men who have no regular sex partners or whose partners are unwilling or unable to come for treatment. The relative effectiveness of two male co-leaders versus a male and female combination is also discussed. Preliminary results show that the program has been successful in achieving the goals of most of the members. Many of the men also reported favorable changes in nonsexual areas. Group treatment, therefore, does seem promising as a viable, relatively inexpensive, and efficient method of dealing with the sexual problems of men without available partners.
