Editorial Reviews

Review

`The book should be read by both medical and non-medical therapists involved in the treatment of sexual dysfunction.' D. Bandyopadhyay, Journal of Psychopharmacology 8 (4) (1994)

`the volume should stand as a good sourcebook for some years to come ... The book makes a serious contribution to an area which is so far relatively under-researched, and should be welcomed as such ... researchers, therapists and libraries would be the weaker for not possessing a copy.' Michael Crowe, Sexual and Marital Therapy, Vol. 10, No. 1, 1995
