Abstract

Avoiding suffering and excessive worry has led to the emergence of new complementary therapeutic approaches, such as third generation therapies. Sometimes, this suffering is derived from sexual dysfunctions. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of Third Generation Therapies, specifically EMDR; Mindfulness; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy; in Sexual Dysfunctions. After a bibliographic search in the main databases and a selection process, thirty-seven articles were selected. Textual analysis (Text mining) was used to carry out the review, through the IRaMuTeQ 0.7 alpha 2 software. The results show that these third generation therapies show significant improvements in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions in their great majority, highlighting the use of Mindfulness. We conclude with the need to carry out research with a more heterogeneous sample so that the data can be generalized to the rest of the population.
