Beskrivning

The Handbook of Clinical Sexuality for Mental Health Professionals, 3rd Edition, builds on the authors’ authoritative first person voice on sexual matters of the previous editions. The work reflects the field's growing sophistication about sexual disorders and their therapies. The scope has been expanded to keep pace with new literature and research in the field, and eight additional chapters have been added. New topics include the politics of diagnosis, persistent genital arousal, asexuality, post orgasm illness, scientific findings concerning origin of orientation, and partnering with the pharmaceutical industry. Easily accessible, the Handbook is divided into sections that touch on fundamental knowledge and skills; treatment; men’s major sexual concerns; women’s major sexual concerns; problems common to both genders; the diversity of sexual lives; and future and trending topics. Written in a personal, supervisory style, the book will help new therapists anticipate clinical contingencies and help experienced therapists refine their thinking and teaching.

Recensioner i media

Just when the previous editions could not have gotten any better, Levine, Risen, and Althof have outdone themselves with the 3rd edition of their book. The uniquely first-person voice allows the reader to feel as though these experts are guiding them through the complexities of managing sex-related concerns. With updated DSM-5 diagnoses and hot-off-the-press scientific data woven throughout the 34 chapters, I’ve cleared my bookshelf to make room for this outstanding and essential book.—Lori A. Brotto, is associate professor in the Department of Ob/Gyn at the University of British ColumbiaThis 3rd edition builds upon the strength of the two previous editions and gets better and better. It contains chapters by the world's leading experts. It is an amazing collection of thoughtful, practical, and evidence-based approaches to the treatment of sexual problems. If you do not have this book on your desk, you need to get it now.—Eli Coleman, PhD, is professor and director as well as the Academic Chair in Sexual Health in the Program in Human Sexuality in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School.This is a unique book for a special audience. Most sex therapy books are written specifically for sex therapists—this book is written specifically for mental health professional who are not sex therapists. Integrating sexual interventions into individual and couple therapy is crucial, and this handbook is the best resource to help general clinicians do this. The third edition builds on the strengths of the previous editions and is a wonderful resource for mental health clinicians.—Barry McCarthy, PhD, is the author of Rekindling Desire and professor of psychology at American University.
