Multiple measure analysis of women experiencing low sexual arousal.

Five women experiencing low sexual arousal were exposed to a multiple measures analysis of their sexual behavior before and after undergoing a comprehensive sex therapy program. Measures included: (1) clinical interview, (2) behavioral record, (3) self-reported ratings of sexual and anxiety arousal, and (4) physiological records. Results showed that though all women reported very positive attitudes toward the therapists and substantial therapeutic benefits in post-therapy and two year follow-up interviews, none of the objective measures showed any clinically significant changes at post-therapy. The implications of this finding were discussed.
