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.
