A biopsychosocial model of assessment and treatment acknowledges the biological, psychological, and social contributors to sexual difficulties and suggests that all these domains should be evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper provides an overview of the major psychological factors contributing to sexual difficulties and offer an evidence-based approach for primary care clinicians to assess and treat these issues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature review was undertaken focusing on articles published since the last consultation in 2016. The study findings were synthesized, critiqued, authors assigned a Grading of Recommendation as Weak or Strong following a year-long process of discussions among the committee. When a particular well-established psychological practice was not evaluated in the literature, we assigned an expert opinion recommendation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Since the 2015 ICSM, there have been a number of high-quality trials of psychological treatments addressing sexual dysfunctions, as well as meta-analyses and systematic reviews. In some domains, there is strong evidence of psychological treatment, and primary care providers should be aware of such approaches and refer when appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper offers a practical guide for primary care clinicians to understand the psychological factors underlying sexual dysfunction and outlining what approaches may be appropriate for this clinician, and when the patient should be referred to a specialist. We emphasize an evidence-based approach to managing sexual dysfunctions in primary care, allowing for timely interventions. A comprehensive evaluation of biopsychosocial factors is recommended to personalize psychological interventions to overall context, including chronic diseases, mental health issues, and relationship conflicts. The initial assessment is key to developing an individualized intervention plan, which may include psychoeducation, referral for cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, or couple therapy, and consideration of medical or digital health interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/sxmrev\/qeae073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,16]],"date-time":"2024-12-16T15:28:09Z","timestamp":1734362889000},"page":"118-143","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Psychological and interpersonal dimensions of sexual function and dysfunction: recommendations from the fifth international consultation on sexual medicine (ICSM 2024)"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lori A","family":"Brotto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of British Columbia , Vancouver, V5Z 1M9 ,","place":["Canada"]}]},{"given":"Sandrine","family":"Atallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American University Beirut Medical Center , Sandrine Atallah 1107 Beirut ,","place":["Lebanon"]}]},{"given":"Joana","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"William James Center for Research , Department of Education and Psychology, , Joana Carvalho, 3810-193 Aveiro ,","place":["Portugal"]},{"name":"University of Aveiro , Department of Education and Psychology, , Joana Carvalho, 3810-193 Aveiro ,","place":["Portugal"]}]},{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Gordon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Elisabeth Gordon , MD, PC, New York, 12581 ,","place":["USA"]}]},{"given":"Patr\u00edcia M","family":"Pascoal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lus\u00f3fona University, HEI-Lab: Digital Human-Environment Interaction Labs , Patr\u00edcia M.
