Sexual Dysfunction in Women

"If you have time to read one book about female sexual dysfunction, this should be the one."

Sexual Dysfunction in Women is a concise yet detailed clinical guide to the treatment of sexual difficulties in women. Written with the general psychologist and therapist in mind and being published with the companion volume Sexual Dysfunction in Men, it takes the novel position that most clinicians interested and willing to help female clients with sexual concerns can do so effectively, even if they do not primarily consider themselves sex therapists. Many women will experience difficulties with desire, arousal, orgasm, or pain with intercourse at some point in their lives, yet most clinicians feel less equipped to treat sexual dysfunction than far less prevalent disorders. This book empowers general psychologists, therapists, and other practitioners to actively engage in the multidisciplinary treatment of sexual disorders and broaden their knowledge base about sexuality, an important component of most clients’ quality of life. It is both a go-to guide for professional clinicians in their daily work and an ideal resource for students and practice-oriented continuing education.

From the reviews:

"[This book] is filled with excellent references, examples, and is a terrific standalone resource. The purpose is to provide therapists which the knowledge to successfully diagnose and treat the most common female sexual disorders. [It] provides a strong summary of current research and illustrates how this research can be used in evidence-based clinical practice. It is written for a broad audience that includes not only nonspecialist therapists, clinicians, and even physicians whose patients raise concerns about their sexual well-being, but also for patients and their partners. This would be an excellent book to supplement any course in human sexuality as well as other higher level therapy courses. [An] outstanding exploration of topics that are not readily discussed and for which many clinicians may feel ill prepared to explore [and] a remarkable resource for clinicians to use in everyday practice."
Nicholas Greco IV, MS, BCETS, CATSM, Columbia College of Missouri, in Doody's listings and reviews, 2014

“Marta Meana’s book Sexual Dysfunction in Women provides an overview of the field that is ideal for a layperson, therapist, or general medical practitioner… in a manner that is easy to understand.
“Meana explains many potential contributors to sexual dysfunction, including psychological, environmental and sociocultural, and biomedical conditions.
“Many psychotherapeutic approaches to treatment are described, as well as some treatments that use physical therapy and medications. Medical treatments are also addressed... Meana highlights physical therapy as an important treatment that has been shown through research to be of benefit.”
