"Twenty three prestigious authors, academicians and clinicians have contributed to the fourth edition of this large comprehensive body of work. A multitude of challenging sexual complaints are fully described and attention given to the most current, integrated, evidence-based, clinically sophisticated methods."
-Metapsychology Online Reviews
"An amazing overview of sex therapy by highly respected specialists with the most up-to-date knowledge in the field....The book is edited so well that it reads as if all of the chapters are written, beautifully, by one single expert....The case examples are extremely helpful and convey in practice the theory and research so thoroughly elaborated in each chapter....This text is extremely comprehensive, with chapters on complicated topics....This is a remarkable textbook that can add enormously to a clinician's knowledge."
-Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
"The presence of the heavy hitters in the field is one of the strengths of this volume as it gives the reader a view of the cutting edge of research and practice in sex therapy....A well-edited book that offers a clinically focused look from an expert's perspective, at the current status of sex therapy. It is appropriate as a text for a graduate course in sex therapy or for anyone who wants an update on current practices in this field. In addition, a number of chapters have relevance for anyone conducting therapy."
-Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy
"This highly readable book is of value to most practitioners working with adults, even if their caseload is general and not specific to sex therapy....4 Stars!"
-Doody's Review Service
"This is a time of vigorous debate and reappraisal of sexuality and its problems, fueled by the need to balance new pharmacological interventions with appropriate psychological interventions. The previous edition of this book saw a shift to a model of care that combines both of these approaches, and the fourth edition reinforces this integrative emphasis. The main themes continue and have been updated, and with many of the chapters written by new authors, there are a variety of fresh perspectives. Invaluable reading for anyone training in or practicing sex therapy, this work has become the 'gold standard' text in the field."
-John Bancroft, MD, Senior Research Fellow and former Director, Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction
"This state-of-the-art fourth edition nicely integrates psychosocial, biological, and medical information and treatment protocols. Presenting a variety of exciting advances in the field, the book is well organized and includes helpful chapter introductions. The tables that are incorporated into most chapters are particularly useful for graduate teaching. This is an ideal text for graduate sex therapy education, and it will also serve as a valuable and useful resource for training medical and nursing professionals."
