Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder Presentation

I thought the group who did this presentation had a large task to take on.  The topics are complicated and confusing.  I thought the presentation went in depth of each disorder and the wiki is also very in depth.  The wiki does a great job of organizing each disorder and its respective criteria, prevalence, predictors, and treatment.  It is easy to read and actually fun to scroll through.  It is nice that each section is broken up intermittently by videos and funny pictures.  It is also efficient that references were put at the end of its section so if we want to research one of the disorders, we don't have to weed through an all-encompassing reference page.  I really liked Trudel et al.'s (2001) graph of women’s thoughts regarding sex because it shows why so many women have "problems" sexually.  I also liked the "Sex Box" TV show video because it shows that sexual problems are being normalized on basic cable.  It also highlights how the media can ruin a good idea by making it raunchy and also shows how the public reacts to sex talk.  I also liked the rest of the "Treatment for Couples" section because it shows specific research studies that back up certain interventions.  It is also helpful that at the end of each section, there are lists of what assessments could be used if we ever get a client with the disorder.  Overall, I think the group did a great job researching and organizing their presentation and wiki page.  The treatment video was also effective in showing how to deal with these sorts of cases by separating the different parts of the session/s.
