Abstract

Sexual Dysfunctions (SD) are changes in one or more phases of the human sexual response cycle, manifesting themselves persistently and recurrently, bringing suffering to the individual and/or partnership(s). The objective of this study was to analyze Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) protocols in the treatment of DS. A scoping review was conducted, based on the PRISMA ScR protocol. The search was conducted in the Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and PubMed databases using Mendeley to collect documents published between 2018 and 2023. A total of 524 articles were retrieved, and after applying selection, inclusion, and exclusion criteria, eight articles were chosen for analysis based on seven categories: concept, etiology, topics covered, coping, screening instruments, psychotherapeutic techniques, and outcomes. The conclusion drawn is that CBT can lead to significant improvements in sexual function by addressing dysfunctional cognitive and behavioral aspects, as well as myths and stereotypes related to sexuality.
