Two hundred couples referred to a sexual problems clinic were assessed in a standardised way for their suitability for sex therapy. The assessment focused on the nature of the sexual dysfunction, motivation for treatment, marital and relationship problems, psychiatric status, and physical problems. Approximately one-third of the couples were found to have significant marital and relationship problems, and more than 30% were suffering from psychiatric disorders, although these were usually of mild to moderate intensity. A third of males and 18% of females were suffering from physical disorders likely to contribute to the sexual dysfunction. Patients who were offered sex therapy and who completed their course of treatment were more likely to show high levels of motivation and an absence of physical disorders, marital relationship problems and psychiatric disorder. There should be careful assessment of couples suffering from sexual dysfunction before specific treatment is offered.

There is growing recognition that it is important to understand how spirituality is related to mental health and distress, and how it can be integrated into psychotherapy. Spiritually integrated psychotherapy (SIP) involves the adaptation of secular psychotherapies in order to be more culturally sensitive and client-centred to spiritually and religiously inclined clients. Literature shows that SIPs are at least as effective as conventional psychotherapy for treating different mental disorders, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely investigated clinical modality that has been adapted to include spiritual content. The objective of this chapter is to describe the adaptation of traditional CBT techniques by integrating spirituality to enhance cognitive restructuring, behavioural activation, coping, psychoeducation, and to facilitate greater motivation for treatment. Several practical examples are given, including the use of meditation and prayer in the treatment process.

Chapter 2 discusses if the prolonged exposure program is right for you and your symptoms, considering the presence of drug or alcohol abuse and dependence, and if you live or work in a high-risk environment. Processes for enhancing motivation for treatment are also explored.Chapter 2 discusses if the prolonged exposure program is right for you and your symptoms, considering the presence of drug or alcohol abuse and dependence, and if you live or work in a high-risk environment.

Outcome literature has shown poor treatment engagement in efficacious, evidence-based post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) programs among returning veterans with combat-related psychological symptoms and calls for the development of motivational, preparatory exercises that circumvent stigma-related barriers and are delivered before or during the orientation phase of treatment. The psychological states of hope, meaning, and guilt have been found to impact motivation for treatment and the development and maintenance of post-trauma pathology and symptom severity. Given a chaplain’s less stigmatized role, as compared to mental health providers, and proficiency in assessing these states and providing interventions that mediate change, often before a veteran is enrolled in a PTSD treatment program, this paper introduces a brief, chaplain-led, preparatory exercise called the “Warrior’s Journey Intervention” (WJI). This narrative based, meaning-making exercise is designed to improve motivation for treatment and mitigate post-trauma symptoms by impacting hope, meaning, and guilt through use of a universally shared, metaphoric story of trauma recovery. A case study will demonstrate use of the intervention, observe its effects, and analyze mechanisms of change. Research is recommended at the end of the article to test the hypothesis that the intervention promotes motivation for treatment and reduces symptoms of PTSD and Moral Injury (MI). A standardized manual for the exercise is available from author.
