Review "The gold-standard text for the assessment and treatment of sexual problems across the lifespan. Edited and written by the leading international experts in the field, this comprehensive book covers a wide range of perspectives and methodologies. The sixth edition covers a number of important new topics. This book is an invaluable guide for beginning and experienced sex therapists, for students, and for practitioners in the broader clinical and therapeutic community as well."--Elizabeth Grill, PsyD, President Elect (2019–2020), Society for Sex Therapy and Research; Departments of Psychiatry, Reproductive Medicine, and Obstetrics and Gynecology, Weill Cornell Medical College "This book is proof that human sexuality is an ever-evolving science and phenomenology. A changed world requires a changed practice. This is the reference book you want on your shelf."--Esther Perel, MA, LMFT, author of Mating in Captivity "With a rich 40-year history, this text has been significantly updated and revised in its timely sixth edition.

This book's multidisciplinary perspective encourages thoughtful communication and responsive best practices that can enhance connection and pleasure around the world."--Delores Friesen, PhD, MFT, Professor Emerita of Pastoral Counseling, Fresno Pacific University Biblical Seminary "Gives the reader a view of the cutting edge of research and practice in sex therapy....Appropriate as a text for a graduate course in sex therapy or for anyone who wants an update on current practices in this field.
