Principles and Practice of Sex Therapy, Fourth Edition PDF

I am a Ph.D. student in a marriage and family therapy program. This book was assigned by the professor of my sex therapy class. It is clinical and in some aspects 'over my head' with medical information. But it is well written and provides excellent information on various sexual related disorders and dysfunctions. The information will serve me well in my future work with clients.

This book provides excellent coverage of a variety of topics in sex therapy. In addition to addressing the mechanics of the disorder, the authors also give a good balance between pharmacological, medical, and psychotherapy interventions. Especially useful is the emphasis on couples counseling and the distinctions regarding when it would and wouldn't be appropriate. It usually is as couples therapy almost always has a component of sex therapy, and sex therapy has a component of couple therapy. The case studies make the material more accessible and make the material more enjoyable and illuminate the disorder in the context it occurs - within a person and a relationship.

The only limitation is beyond the control of the authors. The lack of empirical validation and controlled studies for many of the interventions. Sex therapy is not paid enough attention in this country, so many of the techniques and interventions described are from limited cases or from other countries - as are the authors.
