Mr. Jackson (52) and his wife

(49) present for couples therapy due to ongoing sexual dissatisfaction. Mr.

Jackson reports that he has had increasing difficulty maintaining an erection

during sexual activity for the past 8 months. He states that while he still

finds his wife attractive, he feels embarrassed and often avoids initiating

sex. He has no known chronic medical conditions, and his blood tests are within

normal range.

Mrs. Jackson shares that

although she understands her husband's frustration, she, too, has experienced

changes in her sexual responses. She notes that she has not felt interested in

sex for over a year and often lacks physical arousal during their encounters.

She says, “Even when we try, I don’t feel anything physically or emotionally.”

She denies pain during intercourse but admits that she is distressed by her

lack of desire.

Both partners report that the

issues began around the same time and have worsened over the past year. They

deny infidelity or significant relationship conflict. Neither is currently

taking medication, and both are in generally good health.

Jackson’s sexual difficulty?

Sisi is a 17-year-old girl who

is about to finish high school. Since primary school, Sisi has been under the

impression that her dimples are large and making her unattractive. As a result,

she always wears a hoodie. Sisi has fantasies about being in a relationship,

but shuns boys’ attempts to go out on dates with her because she feels

embarrassed about her dimples. She spends most of her time on the Internet

looking for facial products to “close” her dimples. Sisi also wears heavy

makeup to cover the dimples to look more “attractive”. One morning, she was

preparing for school and realised that her makeup products were missing after forgetting her toiletry bag at her sister’s house over the weekend while visiting. Despite knowing she had an important test scheduled for that

day, Sisi missed school and instead took a taxi to her sister’s house to fetch her

toiletry bag. Based on your knowledge of psychological disorders, classify
