Abstract
A new theoretical framework and classification system for women's sexual problems, written by feminist clinicians and social scientists, was released in October 2000. Part one critiques the current American Psychiatric Association nomenclature for women's sexual programs. Part two highlights international sexual rights documents. Part three begins with a women-centered definition of sexual problems: "discontent of dissatisfaction with any emotional, physical, or relational aspect of sexual experience" (pp. 228-229). It also provides four categories of causes: (a) sociocultural, political, or economic factors; (b) partner and relationship factors; (c) psychological factors; and (d) medical factors. The document is designed for professionals and the public.
