Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

It's dangerous to blame too many of our behaviors and tendencies on raging hormones. We are, after all, creatures of free will. But after reading Theresa Crenshaw's book, you'll never again see your free will as being all that free. The book functions as both an encyclopedia of our attachment-related hormones, telling us exactly what they are and exactly what modern science thinks they do, and a guide to what we can do to get them to keep functioning the way we want them to. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

Identifies the role our hormones play in the different sexual stages, exploring the age-old concept of chemistry between the sexes and how hormones can determine the course of human relationships. Reprint. K. "

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book. I think every one should read this book., March 24, 1998
By A Customer
I really liked this book. I found it informative, well written and easy to read. The information it presented about our hormonal makeup was fascinating. This book has good information about our different sexual hormones and the ways they influence our thinking, actions and relationships from birth to old age. It certainly helped me to understand how the complex interaction of sexual chemicals within our bodies affects our lives in so many different ways. This book is really packed with great information. I found it especially helpful in understanding the "chemical bonding" that happens between two people. It also has great information about Estrogens and Progesterones and their use in Hormone Replacement Therapy. I would recommend it for adults of all ages, who are looking to understand their bodies, but as a menopausal women I found it especially insightful. I loved it so much I bought 5 copies to share with family members and friends and I've told numerous people about this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chemical Bonding..., May 5, 2001
By "intentaccess" (Boca Raton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
The insight of how the range of hormones effects the F/M relationship was wonderful! Hormones is what makes love happen...It explains how these hormones control our thought, how we perform, and the part they play in our associations from birth on up. This book also gives information about Progesterone's and Estrogens and the use of these in Hormone Replacement Therapy. It helps you see and understand the actual chemical bonding which happens between F/M.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, i'd like to make appointment with Dr. Crenshaw,, June 16, 1998
By A Customer
This book is easy to read and explains in layman's terms the effects of hormones on sexuality and emotions. For people that are noticing hormonal changes in their bodies it can be explanative. For me personally it leaves a lot of unaswered questions relating to my sexual an d physical health, and has compelled me to seek professional guidance. I have tried to find the Crenshaw Clinic that is mentioned in the book but have been unable to do so and now I'm trying via the webb site. I bought the book for friends and for my boss. Any help in finding the clinic would be appreciated.
