About this title

Review

"It is an indispensable addition to any professional library."

"The authors' liberal use of case examples and specific suggestions provides a useful resource for those professionals just entering the sex therapy field, and for those professionals who want to increase their skill at handling sexual issues."

" Finally! A volume that addresses the spectrum of issues pertinent to sexual dysfunction--from the physical to the psychological. The writing is excellent and informative, the case examples are plentiful, the degree of empathy and understanding are extraordinary. Psychologist, gynecologist, family practitioner, social worker, or psychiatrist--experienced clinician or graduate student--all will benefit from reading this book." (Avodah K. Offit, M.D., author of Night Thoughts: Reflections of a Sex Therapist, The Sexual Self, and Virtual Love)

"This is a comprehensive, though practical, guide to sex therapy, edited by Randolph Charlton, a clinician with vast experience in the area. The chapters are authored by practitioners who hail from several disciplines and are written in a collegial, easy-to-read style. The book contains many clinical pearls of wisdom and is a must-read for all clinicians interested in helping patients with sexual dysfunction." (Alan F. Schatzberg, M.D., Kenneth T. Norris, Jr., Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine)
