Abstract

Retarded ejaculation, RE, has received little attention in the past; however with greater sexual awareness, therapists may find a significant increase in requests for help with this dysfunction. A major concern of this paper is that RE has been too narrowly defined. Additional problems in previous literature include conceptual confusion, poorly defined criteria, vague descriptors, and methodological problems. Incidence, definitions and categorizations are followed by a look at etiology, assessment, and treatment results. The present article broadens the definition of RE, presents psychophysiological stimulation deprivation as a generally overlooked cause, and offers a thorough bibliography for reference purposes.

The effect of EMDR on the pathophysiology of PTSD.

The process of understanding Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been a long and difficult one. It is safe to say our understanding of this disorder in incomplete, and our exploration into its pathophysiology is fairly recent. As with any disorder of the brain, the complexities of PTSD are extensive and require integrating cognitive, functional, and chemical components. Given this complexity, it is no wonder that treating PTSD has also been a challenge. Treating a disorder whose components are not fully understood is similar to shooting in the dark. Some shots have hit their mark and some have missed. More than ten years after its conception, the question of whether Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a hit or a miss is still debated. If understanding the pathophysiology of PTSD is still recent, understanding the possible physiology behind EMDR is just beginning. This paper will define PTSD, explain some aspects of its physiology, and present some hypotheses as to why EMDR may be a successful treatment for PTSD.

EMDR and the role of the clinician in psychotherapy evaluation: towards a more comprehensive integration of science and practice.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been consistently evaluated as efficacious in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The information processing model that guides its clinical application posits that EMDR should be effective in treating other psychological disorders that have experiential contributors. Research is needed to assess such applications. This special issue features three case series in which EMDR was applied to the treatment of complex PTSD, phobias, and chronic pain, respectively. The authors discuss deficits in the research literature, provide preliminary data on EMDR treatment of these conditions, and offer descriptive guidelines for evaluation that are achievable by the practicing clinician. Two additional articles offer preliminary data on physiological and cognitive/affective concomitants of therapeutic change. It is argued that clinicians should play a greater role in the rigorous and extensive examination of psychological treatments in the context of the exigencies of clinical practice.
