Active Treatment J ofSexual Dysfunctions HELEN SINGER KAPLAN, M. D.. PH. D
$17.50 THE N€W S€X THERAPY In recent years, the work of Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, and other investi- gators has led to tremendous advances in our understanding of human sexuality. This increased understanding is currently being translated into innovative new ap- proaches to the treatment of sexually dys- functional men and women, with often dramatic results in relieving the distress- ing sexual symptoms of countless indi- viduals who were formerly beyond help, even with years of costly psychotherapy. Now a noted psychiatrist and specialist in the new sex therapy describes for the first time the new treatment of the sexual dysfunctions, providing a clear picture of the entire process of treatment, as well as conceptualizing the theory underlying it. The author's method is unique in that it represents an integration of psychoana- lytic and sex therapy techniques. It treats the couple on an outpatient basis and is applicable to office practice, as well; it fo- cuses on relief of the sexual problem and attaining improved sexual functioning; and it is multicausal and eclectic in ori- entation—combining psychoanalytic and learning theories and techniques through the integration of assigned sexual tasks (which the couple conducts at home) with conjoint psychotherapeutic sessions in the doctor's office. Treatment is usually brief, requiring only six to fifteen visits for most couples. This comprehensive volume covers the anatomy and physiology of the sexual re- sponse, including the role of hormones and the brain (with 13 anatomical and schematic illustrations); the biological and psychological causes of sexual dys- function; and the basic principles and procedures of sex therapy.
