Résumé |
We have tested for six years the application of mediation in the clinical approach to the problems of the couple sexuality.
We have taken into consideration sixty couples dividing them into couples with a conflict and on the contrary couples forming an alliance in their search of a solution to their sexual problems.
We have gathered their family trees with structured interviews, and reading their trigenerational family history we have been able to highlight some important contents in their educational systems:
1) | the concept of male and female and the behaviour of couples in the family of origin |
2) | The patterns of intimacy, corporeity and power |
3) | The discordances between traditional and acted roles compared with the individual expectations |
We have studied some periods of the couple life cycle and we have verified that sexuality goes through a crisis when the couple take their role of official couple and of a family and when they weigh the meaning of motherhood/fatherhood and their roles in a continuative relationship.
In the intervention model of the couple sexual psychotherapy, the Sexual Mediation inserts two sessions where the conflict of gender and role is reorganized. Nowadays that conflict is leading the couple to a strong instability.
If we work on rigid positions, if we clarify the meaning of male and female, if we show all the interests at stake, if we arrive at a joined definition of the problem, if we search solutions that can be shared step by step, we will be able to find very soon a solution to that conflict
