> I think "cured" was a poor word choice. Diseases get cured, sexual dysfunction (especially caused by ADs- I'm with you there!) is a condition, it gets better or resolved, not cured.
What bothered me about the word "cured" is that it made it sound like *she* did all the work! You're right, diseases can be cured with or without the cooperation of the patient. But therapy of any kind has to include the dedicated, hard work of the patient. Without that, the therapist is powerless. I might be able to accept that a therapist and patient cured the problem together, but I still think that the majority of healing is the result of the patient's efforts.
