title: Short-term cognitive-behavioral treatment of hypoactive sexual desire in an individual with a history of childhood sexual abuse.
abstract: The treatment offered individuals of childhood sexual abuse is often unnecessarily long-term and is typically based upon the victimization/recovery model. This paper presents a brief case study illustrating the successful short-term cognitive-behavioral treatment of a 28-year-old woman with hypoactive sexual desire who reported a history of repeated sexual molestations throughout her childhood.
