Psychotherapy Techniques and Applications

Abstract Cultural factors influence the presentation of problems, their management and the help-seeking behaviour of individuals and couples. Therefore a culturally tailored approach, rather than a standard one, should be preferred for successful intervention. This paper discusses some of the sociocultural factors that shape the clinical presentation of sexual problems, and which should be considered during the practice of sex therapy.
