Assessment, treatment, and relapse prevention: male hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
There is a dearth of conceptual, clinical, and empirical work in the area of male hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Instead, the sexual medicine approach has focused on erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. This conceptual/clinical article focuses on a couple, integrative, psychobiosocial approach to understand, assess, treat, and relapse prevention of this very important problem. The hope is to generate conceptual, clinical, and research interest in this largely ignored dysfunction.
