Zusammenfassung:A review of the existing literature reveals limited understanding of and guidance for the treatment of decreased sexual intimacy among new mothers. The authors apply key concepts from existentialism as a theoretical framework to address these limitations.

Corresponding suggestions for treatment are provided.
