Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to study the changes in attitude of a group of spinal cord injured males and their marital partners after a sexual therapy treatment program. The investigation utilized a two-group design. The experimental group consisted of five couples who had sought treatment of difficulties in the sexual aspect of their relationship and had indicated some degree of inadequacy in this area on the part of one or both partners. The control group consisted of five similar couples who agreed to wait or did not feel ready for the treatment program. In both groups the male partner had suffered a spinal cord lesion and the effects of the injury presented problems in the sexual sphere of the relationship with their partner.
