Abstract
Object : The purpose of this article is to propose a model to clinicians designed to highlight the dysfunctional elements responsible for the appearance and continuation of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. Methodology : Supported by a broad analysis of clinical and empirical accounts, we suggest a global vision whose theoretical foundations come from “sexofonctionnelle”. Results :This model underlines the multi-factor aspect of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and leads us to a didactical structuration comprising five axes. Discussion : Thereby, the cognitive, physiological, behavioural, emotional and environmental factors are discussed. Conclusion : This etiology with its five axes will facilitate the assessment of all the elements responsible for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder and will enable clinicians to adapt their treatment by being aware of the multi-factor nature of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder when taking a medical history.
