| Abstract | Most successful treatments for sexual dysfunction are psychophysiological, in that physiological change circularly interacts with a psychological change. The topic of this article is female sexual dysfunction treatments that are psychologic, defined as interventions whose primary vector of action is initiated through psychological mechanisms in contrast to physiologic treatments initiated through a physical act on the body. In the enthusiasm for new physiologic approaches, there has been a strong tendency to overlook or dismiss the evidence that does exist for efficacious or promising psychologic treatments. Each diagnostic category of desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain disorders is briefly reviewed with respect to efficacious or effective criteria. The review shows there to be limited controlled research, with only orgasmic disorders meeting the more stringent “well established” criteria, promising but uncontrolled results for vaginismus and dyspareunia, minimal effectiveness data for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, and no available efficacy data on female sexual arousal disorder and sexual aversion. It is concluded that (a) since a psychologic treatment can and does impact sexual physiology, we need to continue to develop and test psychologic approaches both out of intellectual interest and out of respect for the choices patients require or prefer, (b) the prescription of a physiologic treatment which ignores the fact that human sexuality is infused with individual meaning may invite further interference with sexual functioning, and (c) future research would do well to test the efficacy of the psychologic and physiologic treatments, both separately and in combination, for female sexual dysfunction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
