5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and Insightful Stories, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

I read this book under its previous title, "The Pornographer's Grief," and am glad to see it has been re-published under the title "Sexual Mysteries" (a better description of its contents). This is a charming book of insightful stories from the author's general psychiatric practice. Each of the chapters discusses a different patient in dialogue form. While these are true stories of therapy, they are so well written they read like good fiction. They provide an unusual opportunity to look in on someone else's life and their problems, how those problems play out in their sexual life (or how they are manifested in sexual symptoms), and how the problems are solved through therapy.

For example, the chapter called "The Acrobat's Stocking" tells the story of a man's longstanding problems with using a condom. Through therapy the man discovers the psychological roots of, and solves, his problem. Some of the other chapters are titled "The Pornographer's Grief" (exploring the psychological roots of a man's addiction to pornography), "The Woman Who Thought Her Orgasm Was A Gift," "Don Juan's Regret" (about a womanizer coming to terms with his behavior), and "Sexual Appetites" (about a bulimic college student and unconscious sexual elements of her binges).

"Sexual Mysteries" is easy-reading but intellectually stimulating. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought about it for weeks ., April 25, 2000

By A Customer

As a graduate student in counseling I found this book fascinating. (It had the same effect on my fellow classmates) Many of us wrote reaction papers on different chapters plus we spent quite a bit of time discussing it in class. Initially I was shocked by the material, later I was in awe of where the counselor went with the clients.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you want to get an idea about psychotherapy, April 20, 2002

By	lanoitan (United States) - See all my reviews

I liked this book. I would really give it 4 and 1/2 stars. It's interesting, educational, and fun if you are the type who is curious about the psychodynamics of human behavior. Most people just want a pill to cure what ails them, but sometimes the only cure is finding out what is really going on in the mind. This book gives you some insight into that mysterious and fascinating world.
