For many of these women, their first experience of a sexual relationship with a male partner takes place within marriage. Moreover, members of the Orthodox Jewish community observe rituals, laws, and practices specifically related to sexual relations within marriage. This mixed methods study explored the early marital sexual experiences of self-identified married Orthodox Jewish women through an anonymous online survey and guided written narrative. Utilizing a feminist lens and building on research around sexual scripts, findings include themes of experiencing early marital sexual activity as a “quick shift” and experiencing a change in sense of self and sexual agency. Other themes include navigating changes in sense of modesty, disappointment, empowerment and entitlement; and reflections on the complexity of this transition. Findings have the potential to inform clinical practice, education, and program development to address Orthodox Jewish women’s needs, while contributing to the broader conversation regarding female sexuality, particularly within this cultural context.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88105634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the mixed-methods case study, we provided an account of four users (two who improved and two who did not) who engaged in the intervention for eight weeks; the users answered weekly questions about their progress and completed an interview at the end of the study. We found that the intervention was very effective for some users with hope and confidence being related to higher improvement. Also seeing the problem as shared rather than one person’s issue helped make improvements. Communication (or lack thereof) was an important contributor to both the problem and the progress. The application can be used as a standalone treatment for sexual desire discrepancy or in combination with a therapist. LAY SUMMARY The manuscript describes the experience of four individuals who used an online sex therapy app for eight weeks to help with mismatched sexual desire in their relationship. Having hope things would get better, seeing the problem as shared, and beginning to communicate about sex helped improve outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84524917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We here at the journal have a lot to be elated about in the last year, 2021, and so much to be excited about in this new year! One thing we implemented in 2021 were journal-related honours and awards. When I became the Editor-inChief (EIC) in 2018 one thing I wanted to explore was the idea of having an annual best article award and a top reviewer of the year award, however, the timing was a bit premature as this was an idea that had not been historically explored at the journal of Sexual and Relationship Therapy (SRT). Coming into my role as EIC, I had just served as the Virtual Issues Editor for the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy (JMFT) from 2015 to 2018. In this role I served with Dr. Fred Piercy, who was the EIC of JMFT, who in 2013 implemented the JMFT Best Article of the Year Award (Piercy, 2016), and the JMFT Reviewer of the Year Award. I saw how meaningful these honours were to not only the journal’s authors and reviewers, but also to the readers of the journal, as well as to the overall field of couple and family therapy. So, I thought when, and if, I ever had the opportunity to be an EIC of a top journal I would hope to implement similar awards. Thus, I am elated that this is happening for our authors who print published in our journal in 2021, as well as for our reviewers, who served in this capacity in 2021. So, of the 81 people who served as reviewers in the year of 2021 (all of which are listed in this issue on a standalone page of appreciation), we had two people who reviewed more submissions than anyone else and in the timeliest manner. Hence, these two reviewers are being honoured with the very first Sexual and Relationship Therapy Reviewer of the Year Awards. One is Sarah Hechter, MS., LMFT. Sarah is a counselor at DuPage County Health Department in the state of Illinois. The second is Candice Maier, PhD., LMFT. Candice is an Assistant Professor in the Counseling, Rehabilitation, and Human Services Department and the Clinical Director of the Clinical Services Center at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. The work of these two outstanding reviewers was instrumental in the journal’s success last year and for this we are deeply grateful. Of the 27 scholarly articles published in print in the journal of Sexual and Relationship Therapy in 2021, eight were selected to be considered for the first Sexual and Relationship Therapy Best Article of the Year Award in the journal’s history. These eight articles were chosen, because of all those articles published in print in 2021, these articles had the highest citation count, most views, most downloads, and/or highest Altmetric scores. Additional considerations in the selection of the articles to be considered for this award included the: timely nature of the content, overall quality of the writing and/or methodological approach, applicability and","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80232041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence suggests that Grouped Sexuality Education (GSE) can be as effective as in-person sexuality education. The efficacy of PLISSIT versus GSE has not previously been evaluated in women with Breast Cancer (BC). In this paper, we report on the effect of PLISSIT versus GSE on self-reported sexual behaviors experienced by women after a BC diagnosis (n = 75). The women were randomly allocated into three groups, with 25 women in each arm. Data analysis of the intention-to-treat population (n = 65) revealed efficacy of both GSE and PLISSIT in improving sexual behaviors (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) with a positive change in sexual capacity, motivation and performance after 6- and 12-weeks post-intervention follow ups. We found the GSE model showed a greater efficacy than the PLISSIT model. Due to the substantial needs faced by women with cancer and the cost associated with implementing the PLISST model, GSE seems to be more effective. We recommend GSE for Iranian communities where management of sexual problems is at an early stage and where the sexuality of women with cancer is routinely overlooked.</p>","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14681994.2020.1732910","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10604376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Are sex therapy and God, strange bedfellows? Case studies illuminating the intersection of client sexuality with spirituality, religion, faith or belief practices","authors":"G. Turner, W. Stayton","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2021.2007235","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2021.2007235","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Clients seeking sex therapy can bring into the clinical space a vibrant religious, spiritual and/or faith practice. Even those clients who do not consider themselves religious, often come to sex therapy with a prior relationship to a religion or with a higher power. While this relationship can be a source of strength, it may include a history of trauma, pain, and grief. This intersection of sexuality and faith can be a powerful clinical space; however, it is not without its challenges, specifically when shame, guilt and remorse are associated with the client’s sexual experiences. Mental health professionals skilled in sex therapy are ideally positioned to support these clients; however, they are rarely trained in incorporating client religious issues. This paper seeks to expand professional discourse on supporting clients at the intersection of sexual and faith well-being. First, we discuss why mental health clinicians focused on sex therapy need to incorporate a faith informed practice lens. Next, three case studies are presented to highlight the intersection of psychosexualtherapy and a client’s faith. The discussion section subsequently highlights preparation needed by mental health professionals and offers suggestions for better professional training in this specialty area. Finally, faith informed clinical interventions are presented. Lay summary People seeking a sex therapist bring their spirituality, religion, faith, or belief practices to therapy. Clinicians must acknowledge this aspect of a client’s life and recognize that it can play a key role in their healing. Sex therapists rarely receive training in faith issues. This paper attempts to bridge that gap.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87451945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
