Partner’s involvement is crucial for effective psychotherapy of persons after SINC. A possibility to take the advantage of experience of other persons with a similar disorder is of particular value during the therapy. There is a positve correlation between the ability to experience sexual satisfaction and quality of social adaptation after SINC.
