Graduate training in clinical psychology: a view from the consumer.

Recent graduates from APA-approved doctoral programs in clinical psychology were asked to rate the adequacy of their training in a variety of skill areas (N = 316). For the most part, respondents were relatively satisfied with their training and were most satisfied with traditional skills in therapy and assessment. Comparisons of males and females, practitioners and academicians, and traditional clinical vs. community-oriented programs resulted in few significant differences. In light of other recent findings, the present results suggest that satisfaction with training and satisfaction with professional work role are not the same. Implications of these results and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Treatment of sexual dysfunction: a review of outcome studies.

Studies that have reported the outcome of treatment of various sexual dysfunctions are reviewed. While the number of published studies is limited, the results are remarkably consistent. By use of a variety of techniques, the prognosis for successful treatment of primary orgasmic dysfunction in women and premature ejaculation in men is quite good. The treatment of secondary or situational orgasmic dysfunction is more difficult and results in much lower success rates. Variables that affect treatment outcome and implications for future research and treatment are discussed.

The impact of differential shifts in leader structure on the outcome of internal and external group participants.

This study investigated the interaction between locus of control and high and low degrees of structure of leader role as related to outcome. On the basis of their pretreatment locus of control score, college students were assigned randomly to one of five groups: a group that began unstructured and shifted to a structured format at the midpoint of the group, a group that began structured and shifted to an unstructured format at the midpoint, a group that was structured throughout, group that was unstructured throughout, and a no-treatment control group. Treatment in the 23-hour marathon groups consisted of the same sequence of planned group exercises; the leader varied his structure in accordance with the experimental design. The results indicated that an initial highly structured leader role followed by a relatively unstructured leader role presented at the midpoint of treatment fostered the greatest gains in self-actualization in both internal and external Ss.

A short-term, intensive workshop approach for the treatment of human sexual inadequacy.

A rapid treatment approach to common sexual dysfunctions has been used in treating 59 couples, including 74 symptomatic individuals. Using a multidisciplinary team approach in an intensive 2 1/2 day workshop format, symptom improvement has been obtained in 86.5% of the dysfunctional individuals, with complete symptom reversal in 63.5%. The intensive workshop format has resulted in a saving of both patient and professional time and is seen as a viable and successful alternative to more time-consuming approaches of treating various sexual dysfunctions.

Interaction effects of emotional status and sexual abuse on adult sexuality.

This study examined the additive, interaction effects of emotional status with sexual abuse on adult sexual functioning and sexual responsibility. The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS; Rust & Golombok, 1986), the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 1991), and a questionnaire regarding sexual experiences, number of unwanted pregnancies, number of unsafe sexual partners, and sexual abuse history, were administered to 200 psychology students. One hundred and forty-three participants were retained in the study. Two-way multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) were conducted for the sexual functioning variables (as measured by the GRISS), while two-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) were conducted for the sexual irresponsibility variables (as measured by the sexual experiences questionnaire). It was found that women who have high anxiety scores on the PAI and have a history of sexual abuse reported higher numbers of unwanted pregnancies, while sexual abuse history was not associated with numbers of unwanted pregnancies for women with lower levels of anxiety. Results were not significant, however, for the sexual functioning variables. In addition, depression and alcoholism did not have interacting effect on the association between sexual abuse history and any of the sexuality variables. These results may suggest that the effects of sexual abuse on adult sexuality may not be as pervasive as was once thought.

Effects of child and adult sexual abuse on adult sexuality.

The differential effects of child and adult sexual abuse on adult sexual functioning were examined. The Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) and a sexual experiences questionnaire were administered to 201 psychology students at the University of South Florida, 175 of whom were retained in the study. GRISS variables that were analyzed consisted of anorgasmia, sexual avoidance, sexual dissatisfaction, sexual noncommunication, nonsensuality, and vaginismus. Women who were sexually abused in adulthood were more sexually dissatisfied and nonsensual than women who had no history of sexual abuse. In addition, women who had a history of sexual abuse in childhood or adulthood were less satisfied with the overall quality of their most recent sexual relationship than non-abused women and had higher numbers of unsafe sexual partners.
