Summary

The field of clinical sexuality evolves in response to changing general cultural trends, scientific advances, shifting professional ideologies, and the personal maturation of its practitioners. In less than a decade, much seems to have changed in how we think about and offer care for sexual problems. These usually slight, occasionally dramatic shifts are the main reason for bringing out a second edition of this handbook. --
