Consideration of a Spiritual Role in Sex and Sex Therapy

Elizabeth K. Ullery

Troy State University

In spite of high levels of reported spirituality in the United States, spiritual issues are only beginning to be recognized as a therapeutic tool in sex therapy. This article provides background material for theological and clinical questions as they relate to individualized concepts of sex and sexual dysfunction. The complexity of human sexuality is compounded by the intricacy of human spirituality, yet they share common ground. An argument and corresponding guidelines are proposed for further exploration into incorporating spiritual belief systems into sex therapy.

Key Words: sex therapy • spirituality • religious issues • tantra
