Extract

The last 15 years or so have witnessed a marked growth of interest in sexual problems paralleled by a growth of interest in marital and familial processes. The pioneering work of Masters and Johnson (Masters and Johnson, 1966 and 1970) has been a focus for this trend, but the increased interest shown in professional circles is in part a response to demands created by changes within society as a whole. In particular sexual attitudes have changed as have expectations of personal happiness, and these permissive attitudes have their casualties as well as being liberating in effect.
