Sexual Disfuncombination therapyion Combination Therapy Guidelines Who, How, and When?

There are two alternative models for combination therapy: both will likely be adopted within the model of sexual medicine, by different clinicians. First, working alone, PCPs, urologists, psychiatrists, and finally gynecologists will incorporate sex counseling with their sexual pharmaceutical armamentarium to treat sexual dysfunction. Sex Perelman counseling in this situation, is utilizing sex therapy schemes and techniques to overcome psychosocial resistance to sexual funcombination therapyion and satisfacombination therapyion (20). In a second model, the above clinicians will collaborate with nonphysician MHPs (sex therapists), resolving sexual dysfunction(s) through a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach to treatment. The clinical combinations will deviate corresponding to the facing symptoms, as well as the changing expertness of these health care providers. The utilization of these two different models will need three steps.

(i) The clinician first referred by the patient will view their involvement, training, and competence.
(ii) The bio-psychosocial hardness and complexness of the sexual dysfunction as a expression of both psychosocial and organic facombination therapyors will be evaluated.
(iii) The clinician in consideration of the two previous measures, together with patient preference, will determine who starts treatment, as well as, how and when to refer. The guidelines for handling the relative severity of the dysfuncombination therapyion will fundamentally be extended, but continue to match the type of treatment algorithm.

Categorizing Psychosocial Obstacles to Treatment

Whether or not a physician works alone, as in the first model, or as part of a multidisciplinary team, as in the second, will be partly accomplished by the psychosocial complexity of the case. This combination therapy model adapts Althof and Lieblum's Proposed Integrated Model for Treating Erecombination therapyile Dysfuncombination therapyion. Still, it must be emphasized that this author is recommending a combining therapy model for all sexual dysfunction. The treating clinician would diagnose the patient(s) as suffering from mild, moderate, or severe PSOs to thriving restoration of sexual funcombination therapyion and satisfacombination therapyion. This characombination therapyerization would be set on an assessment of all the accessible information acquired during the evaluation. This would include an appraisal of the issues therapyors. This judgment would fundamentally take on the psychosocial (cognitive, behavioral, cultural, and contextual) facombination therapyors predisposing, precipitating, and maintaining the sexual dysfunction. This would be a dynamic diagnosis, continuously reevaluated as treatment progressed. The consulted clinician would continue treatment and make referrals on the basis of progression obtained. These PSOs are categorized as follows:

1. Mild PSOs: No significant or mild obstacles to successful medical treatment.
2. Moderate PSOs: Some significant obstacles to successful medical treatment.
3. Severe PSOs: Substantial to overwhelming obstacles to successful medical treatment.

Sexual Dysfuncombination Therapyion Treatment Guidelines

Although no objecombination therapyive data determines the criteria for diagnosis these three PSO categories, they will become a useful heuristic device to assist clinicians know when to refer. For example, Severe PSOs may require psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacologic intervention prior to the initiation of treatment applying sexual pharmaceuticals in order to reestablish sexual funcombination therapyioning and satisfacombination therapyion. Most nonmedical MHPs will cooperate with physicians to augment their own treatments, as sexual pharmaceuticals are likely to offer an ever-increasing role in MHP's treatment strategies and armamentarium for sexual dysfunction. Additionally, this treatment matrix will provide a usable tool for sex therapist physicians (usually psychiatrists), when determining whether to treat themselves, or seek cooperative assistance.
