Sexuality And Chronic Illness: A Comprehensive Approach - Tapa dura

This much-needed work presents a clear, sensitive, and practical guide for clinicians who treat sexual problems among chronically ill men and women. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the difficulties faced by these individuals in their attempts to live full lives, the volume teaches clinicians basic skills needed to comfortably discuss sexuality with patients, assess sexual problems using both psychological and medical approaches, and create a systematic treatment plan. Authors Schover and Jensen's consistent emphasis on integrative assessment and t therapeutic techniques goes a long way toward rectifying the imbalance often created by a strictly medical or psychological techniques.
