Every chapter includes detailed clinical examples illustrating the process of therapy and the factors that influence treatment outcomes.

New chapter topics include persistent genital arousal disorder in women, sexual desire disorders in men, physical therapy for female sexual pain, treatment of sexual abuse survivors, sexuality and culture, and sexual pharmacology.

Review

"Comprehensive, thoughtful, lucid, and richly illustrated with detailed clinical examples. The ideal volume not only for the practicing sex therapist, but also for the classroom....''--William M. Gordon, Montclair State College

"In this age of rapidly changing values regarding human sexuality, Leiblum and Rosen's new edition of PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SEX THERAPY is a landmark. It is essential reading for anyone working with individuals, couples, or families around the issues of their intimate and sexual relationships. Informed by the latest research findings and approaches to clinical intervention, it does not avoid the complex realities of human sexuality in the age of AIDS, and it deals head-on with the complex implications of gender inequality in sexual relationships and in our research, thinking, and therapy.''--Monica McGoldrick, M.S.W.
