An integrative model for treating sexual desire disorders was developed from the original work of Masters and Johnson Institute. Sensate focus exercises and psychoeducation were combined with couple therapy for relationship conflicts and individual therapies for issues with trauma and attachment disorders. The resulting model fits trends in systemic and integrative treatment.
