Female Sexual Dysfunction in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)
FY 2010-11
Summary
The increased medicalization of women's sexuality raises eyebrows for many who see the "normal" range of women's sexual experiences now oversimplified and pathologized. And yet many women feel that they suffer from genuine challenges of sexual arousal, desire, orgasm and pain. How do we support women who genuinely seek help while still acknowledging the complexity of sex and sexuality? How can we ensure that women gain the education required to better understand their condition before seeking a pill to fix it? What are the aspects of the upcoming Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-5) that need to be revised and challenged?
