This thesis involved the development and evaluation of "Rekindle", an internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for erectile dysfunction (ED). For highly motivated couples, "Rekindle" was more effective than no treatment for improving sexual function and relationships. Most men who completed "Rekindle" had maintained treatment gains at 3-month follow-up. The professional portfolio presented 4 case studies which demonstrate that barriers to recovery from early psychosis are often complex and challenging issues, and that effective strategies need to be implemented to overcome these issues during treatment. When insufficient intervention is provided to address these barriers, the likelihood of successful outcome following early psychosis is significantly reduced.
