  Psychotherapy	with	Patients	with	Sexual	Disorders
  The	 therapy	 of	 the	 sexual	 disorders	 neither	 requires	 a	 distinctive
  approach	 nor	 a	 separate	 set	 of	 therapeutic	 tools	 or	 techniques.	 The	 same
  principles	and	technical	procedures	which	are	utilized	in	the	psychotherapy
  of	 the	 neurotic	 disorders	 are	 applicable.	 The	 process	 of	 change	 may	 be
  complicated	by	the	realistic	limitations	of	the	culture	as	well	as	the	individual,
  but	 any	 valid	 therapeutic	 modality	 must	 clearly	 distinguish	 between
  adjustment	 and	 adaptation	 as
