Description
Summary:This paper presents a new short-form scale for use by clinical workers and researchers in measuring the degree or magnitude of a problem in the sexual component of a dyadic relationship, as seen by the respondent. The scale was designed for use in repeated administrations at periodic intervals in order that therapists might continually monitor and evaluate their clients' response to treatment. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were found to be in excess of .90, and the scale has a discriminant validity coefficient of .76.
