Play therapy with the sexual workhorse: successful treatment with twelve cases of inhibited ejaculation.

This paper explores play as treatment for inhibited ejaculation (IE), based on success with 12 heterosexual and homosexual men. The focus is on men able to ejaculate with their own touch but not with partner touch or penile containment. A definition of IE includes: compulsive need to please partner, response anxiety, nonsexual automatic erections, and the penis's refusal to be commanded interpersonally. Treatment options with individuals and/or couples begin with reframing the symptom as compulsive giving and are not directed at forcing ejaculation. Playing, interfering with erroneous beliefs about sexual arousal, and avoiding helping the workhorse work harder are the trust of this paper.

A test of Sarbin's self-role congruency theory within a role-playing therapy analogue situation.

Explored the application of role playing, as a research technique, in a test of Sarbin's self-role congruency theory. Forty male Ss volunteered to play either the role of a therapist or client in a simulation of psychotherapy. The CPI dominance scale was used to select high dominant Ss to play the role of therapists. Half of these high dominant Ss were instructed in directive therapy (creating a self-role congruent condition with high dominance and directiveness being congruent) and half were instructed in non-directive therapy (creating a self-role incongruent condition). Judges' ratings were used to compare Ss' role playing ability and visible comfort between the self-role congruent and self-role incongruent conditions. The results supported Sarbin's theory of self-role congruence. These findings suggest methodological improvements in psychotherapy research via the use of role playing and have practical implications for the practice of psychotherapy.
