"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)

Sex therapy has changed radically since the days when Masters and Johnson first published their groundbreaking work. Treating Sexual Disorders addresses the current thought on the subject of sexual dysfunction as contributors share clinical techniques and case studies derived from sex therapy, couples and marital therapy, behavior therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Theoretical concepts are also presented to clarify the reasoning behind the most effective and up-to-date interventions for each of the sexual dysfunctions listed in the DSM IV.Written with wisdom, empathy and down-to-earth advice for both clinicians and their clients, this volume offers valuable insights for both novice and experienced therapists, as well as experts in sexual dysfunction.
