Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Masters and Johnson were among the pioneers in relabeling sexual function problems as sexual dysfunctions rather than aspects of neuroses. They believed that sexual problems were not personal or individual problems but rather problems of sexual functioning. They rejected the Freudian approach of tracing sexual function problems to childhood and did not see basic personality change as necessary for resolving sexual problems. Instead, they used a cognitive-behavioral approach that involved specific interventions aimed at addressing the underlying factors contributing to the dysfunction.
