Clinical Behavioral Assessment

The ABC clinical programs are based upon ongoing and comprehensive clinical assessment of sexual arousal and behavior. This information is very useful for a number of reasons: (1) behavioral and psychophysiological assessment provide for a valid measure of a person's current levels of sexual arousal toward different sexually-oriented stimuli; (2) treatment services can then focus on specific arousal and behavior; (3) clarification of a person's behavioral patterns; and (4) ongoing assessment ensures the adequate measurement of behavioral change over time to evaluate whether or not treatment is effective.
