Sexuality is an integral part of gender identity, self-image,
and overall well-being. Sexual dysfunctions present in all cultures
and ethnicities around the world. Sexual problems have an
especially high prevalence among patients with psychiatric
syndromes -- yet, in recent years, the field of psychiatry has
shifted away from the treatment of sexual disorders. Clinical
Manual of Sexual Disorders is the first comprehensive text in
decades to address the management and treatment of sexual
dysfunctions and disorders. Using a conceptual model that
incorporates biological, psychological, and cultural interventions
as its guiding principle, the book explores and evaluates the
epidemiology of sexual disorders and paraphilias, sexual
dysfunctions with comorbid psychiatric disorders, sexual problems
associated with various medications, and sexual disorders in
specific patient populations.
Written by 25 contributing clinical specialists from around the
world, the text combines conceptual shifts within the field of
human sexuality with the latest research findings into a practical
three-part volume. The first four chapters cover general areas
relevant to the clinical understanding of human sexuality and
sexual dysfunctions within the frame of psychiatry. The second part
of the book outlines the major sexual dysfunctions, including male
erectile disorder, female arousal disorder, premature ejaculation,
and paraphilias. And the final chapters address the management of
sexual issues in two unique patient populations that are often
neglected in other textbooks -- children and adolescents and older
adults.
The book includes several unique features to further enhance
learner retention - Tables, charts, figures, and illustrations to
enhance the reading material- Evaluations, questionnaires and other
patient materials - Take-away points on key clinical issues at the
end of each chapter- Case examples from the authors' own practices-

Clinical Manual of Sexual Disorders provides a concise,
clinically-oriented biopsychosocial guide to the management and
treatment of sexual dysfunction that is appropriate for all
psychiatric, clinical, and educational settings.
