Sexofunctional Therapy (Therapie Sexofonctionnelle) is a sexological approach, based on the principle of sexual function developed by Dr. Francois de Carufel (a Canadian psychologist with vast experience in Clinical Sexology).

The psychotherapeutic tools, along with the concentration or relaxation practices, are specially designed to help the person get to know his/her body, his/her mind and the way they function.
Emphasis is given to the development of the sexual dynamic of the individual, his/her sexual harmonization and social awareness concerning their sexual relationships.
