Abstract
This paper presents a study of a structural couple therapy approach to the treatment of inhibited sexual desire (ISD). ISD is first conceptu alized as a relational phenomenon that may be most effectively treated in a couple context. Structural couple therapy is advanced and applie d to the treatment of a clinical sample of couples presenting with ISD . Results of the study suggest that a structural couple therapy approa ch to ISD is effective in reducing symptoms of the sexual disorder and in increasing couple satisfaction.
