Winner of the 2013 AASECT Professional Book Award
New Directions in Sex Therapy: Innovations and Alternatives
focuses on cutting-edge, therapy paradigms as alternatives to
conventional clinical strategies. With each passing year, the
treatment of sexual problems seems to emphasize more medical and
pharmacological interventions. There is correspondingly less
interest in the experiences of the individuals or couples involved.
This book expands the definition of our field.
Part I highlights the major problems and criticisms facing sex
therapy and furnishes a rationale for new directions. Included in
this new edition are critiques of "sexual addiction" nomenclature,
the neglect of the ethical dimension in sex therapy, and there is a
call to expand our vision of what sex therapy can attain. Part II
demonstrates new approaches to dealing with traditional sex therapy
concerns, including lack of desire and erectile dysfunction as well
as innovative goals, such as integrating sexual medicine with sex
therapy, using client feedback to customize therapy for the
particular individual/couple's best interests, promoting
relationship growth in working with transgender clients, and
transcending sexual function/dysfunction to optimize erotic
intimacy in long-term couples. This 2nd edition of New Directions
in Sex Therapy: Innovations and Alternatives is replete with
helpful new clinical illustrations across the spectrum of
theoretical orientations (e.g., systemic, narrative, Experiential,
CBT) to demonstrate these approaches in action.
This book is intended for anyone who deals with sexual issues
and concerns in therapy clinicians of every kind, novices and
advanced practitioners rather than only those who define themselves
as sex therapists.
