Counseling for Sexual Disorders: A Therapist’s Handbook

Description

First published in 1990, Counseling for Sexual Disorders has become a foundational text frequently used in universities, seminaries and graduate schools.  Based on the original 1990 protocol developed from the research of Masters and Johnson, this revised and updated version incorporates concepts from the works of Helen Singer Kaplan, knowledge gained through current sex and the brain research, organizations like ISSWSH (Dr. Irwin Goldstein) and the Penners’ 50 years of clinical experience.

Counseling for Sexual Disorders prepares the clinician and graduate student to have a clear comprehension of the Guidelines and Underlying Principles for the effective use of the evidence-based strategies for assessment, therapeutic intervention and relapse prevention.  Assessment forms, 31 Sexual Therapy assignments, and client surveys are included with book purchase for use by practitioners. This revised edition for professionals is now designed to parallel the client’s handbook Restoring the Pleasure. Thus, the 31 assignments are identical in both books.
