Female sexual dysfunction : aetiology and a model of sexual response

This thesis examined the aetiology of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and a model to represent sexual function. Relationship factors were the main predictor of sexual function for women with FSD. A circular model of sexual response represented women's sexual experience for those with FSD and those who did not have FSD. In order to illustrate the role of family emotional involvement in children's development of psychological disorders the portfolio presents and explores four case studies.
