Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"The Guidebook of Sexual Medicine is a practical manual for clinicians of all sorts of professional backgrounds who are charged with evaluation and treatment of sexual disorders. This volume underscores the value of an in-depth exploration of biological and psychosocial factors underlying sexual dysfunction, and widens the scope of interventions by highlighting the importance of integrating biological and psychosocial treatments. It also calls attention to 'the couple' as a core unit in restoration of sexual health and quality of life enhancement." FROM THE FOREWORD BY LOUIS IGNARRO, PH.D., NOBEL LAUREATE
From the Author
This volume integrates biological and psychological schools of thought by using a biopsychosocial approach to the evaluation and treatment of sexual dysfunction, with significant emphasis on the couple. The Biopsychosocial model ensures a comprehensive assessment of multiple factors (psychosocial, medical, and the effect of substances) that can affect sexual functioning, so that the individual and/or the couple can benefit from different types of interventions, whether they are biological, psychosocial, or both. The current model of the sexual response cycle is discussed in chapter 1. A discussion of the Biopsychosocial evaluation and Biopsychosocial treatments of sexual disorders is covered in chapter 2. The following two chapters (3 and 4) describe substance-induced sexual dysfunction and sexual disorders caused by medical conditions. Chapters 5 through 8 deal with disorders of desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain. Chapter 9 focuses on alternative medicine interventions in sexual performance enhancement, while chapter 10 is dedicated to women's sexual health. This volume ends with an appendix on the results of sex surveys and another on the available online screening tests for sexual disorders in women and men. Paraphilias and gender identity disorders are related topics that are beyond the scope of this manual and are not covered here.

This review is from: The Guidebook of Sexual Medicine (Paperback)
Book is a real addition to the field of sexual medicine by a practicing MD. An enjoyable reading, very organized and up to date. Would like to see in next editions, author's own pearls of practice, case studies or vignettes of challenging or resistant cases.
