The causes of these dysfunctions are mainly seen as psychological. The brain is thus again
emphasized as the most important sexual organ.
Certain therapeutic techniques enable the social worker to alter the client's unrealistic cognitions. The
following therapeutic interventions were selected :
Cognitive restructuring
Reframing
Stress inoculation.
This selection is made because the altering of cognitions would result in modification of the targeted
behavior.
Certain recommendations with regard to social work practice, are aimed at improving services in the field
of sexual dysfunction. One of the most important matters to be addressed, seems to be the elimination of
myths and incorrect information about sexuality on a community level.
Social workers ought to play a major role in promoting healthy sexual cognitions and perceptions.
