Abstract

In this chapter of the WPA Section on Psychiatry and Human Sexuality are presented two interesting articles on sexual dysfunctions, a crucial clinical concern in Sexology – one deals with female sexuality and its dimensions and the other on the adequate and efficient treatments offered in these days. One other concerns the important matter of sexual violence.

Kevan Wylie, sexologist and president of the World Association for Sexual Health presents a very actual reflection on female sexuality on different dimensions, namely women, sexual well-being, mental health, religion and sex and sexual diversity.

A revision on the treatment of sexual dysfunction is done by T. S. Rao and et al. Navarro Cremades et al. the authors of the last article present an overview of the dramatic problem of sexuality violence against women starting in the definition and in sexual rights. This theme of sexual violence and PTSD is another dimension considered in what concerns to prevalence, genetic and epigenetic classifications and sexuality. The last point treated in this paper is the dimension of public health, prevention and public policies.

The authors intended to follow a clinical orientation since the important issue of sexual history and how to do it in different treatments that can be prescribed, psychological and biological treatments.

The human sexuality section believes in the importance of sexuality dimension in Psychiatry and Mental Health.
