SEX THERAPY

Short-term (fewer than 26 weeks) therapies that focus on interpersonal problems:

SEX THERAPY
Sexologists of the early twentieth century such as Alfred Kinsey, and William Masters and Virginia Johnson, examined the psychological components of sex, setting the stage for modern sex therapy. Physiological causes of sexual problems such as the inability to have orgasms or premature ejaculation should be ruled out first with a medical exam.

COUPLES THERAPY
Here, the therapist sees both members of the couple (married or not) at once in an attempt to explore problems of trust and communication.

FAMILY THERAPY
In 1959, American psychologist Don D. Jackson originated the term and practice of "conjoint family therapy", which requires family members to be therapy together.
