When is it timely to publish a synthesis of previously published
and original materials from a specific discipline? I believe it to
be timely when one has a sufficient amount of high-quality material
covering the critical areas of that topic, when the previously
published material is scattered over a wide range of journals and
books, and when there is no single book that synthesizes the
discipline. The treatment of sexual dysfunction emerged to the
front lines of health delivery only during the past decade with the
pioneering work of William Masters and Virginia Johnson. In spite
of the rash of sex clinics and sex therapists that followed,
preciously little solid research has been conducted on the various
strategies of therapy, the means of assessing complex interpersonal
sexual relation ships, and the manner by which clinical change is
objectively assessed. No one reader can keep pace with the
multitude of jounials that publish key material by sophisticated
investigators. And no one investigator can cover these salient
areas alone with his or her original work in a single volume. The
critical papers have now been written. Ten were written
specifically for this volume and thirty-three have previously
appeared. This volume laces them together into a coherent pattern.
Thus, the time for a synthesis in sexual dysfunction."
