Seminars in Psychosexual Disorders
Edited by H. Freeman, I. Pullen, G. Stein and G. Wilkinson
Part of the College Seminars
Series.
Seminars in Psychosexual Disorders presents expert
contributions on the diagnosis and management of sexual problems
from a number of perspectives, looking at medical, psychological
and sociological models. As well as considering what may go wrong
between couples and ways of dealing with these problems, the
contributors also discuss disorders of sexual direction and examine
the background and management associated with deviant sexual
behaviour, homosexual expression and gender problems. This book
will be invaluable reading for psychiatric trainees and clinicians,
psychologists, psychotherapists, general practitioners and
counsellors.
