review: Editorial Reviews Review PRAISE FOR THE BOOK " Enhancing Sexuality: A Problem-Solving Approach<$> presents a comprehensive program developed by psychologists who are not only experts in the treatment of sexual problems but leaders in the field. It is based on solid research and written in a way that may be understood by the lay person. By exploring the development of sexual behavior and ways of reacting to sexual problems, the authors give the reader a deeper understanding of the psychological, medical, and social factors that affect sexuality. This insightful workbook combines case studies with good, practical advice. The nonjudgmental and supportive attitudes of the authors are reflected in their sensitivity to cultural diversity and sexual preference. This volume is a worthy addition to the library of both patient and therapist. I plan to recommend it often." --Carol Landau, Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Director of Psychological Services, Women's Health Associates, Rhode Island Hospital and Brown University School of Medicine, Author, The Complete Book of Menopause: Woman's Guide to Good Health<$>. "This excellent patient Workbook provides a no-nonsense, up-to-date approach to sexual enhancement for men and women of all ages. This workbook covers a wide gamut of sexual difficulties and problems, and offers information, advice, and practical suggestions for every problem. A major strength of the Workbook is the large number of self-test exercises and assignments throughout. These help greatly to maintain the reader's interest and involvement. Another major strength is the balanced presentation of physical and psychological causes of sexual dysfunction. At a time when most popular literature is focusing on physical causes, this Workbook succeeds in giving the reader a truly balanced overview of the subject. The coverage is both complete and very readable. Case studies are presented throughout, and provide excellent illustrations of the main points. Finally, the first author (John Wincze) is a world-renowned clinician and researcher in the field of human sexuality who writes with exceptional clarity and comfort on the topic. This is a highly readable and authoritative workbook on sexual enhancement, which should be read by anyone with sexual concerns or difficulties." --Raymond C. Rosen, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Center for Sexual and Marital Health, UMDNJ, New Jersey's University of the Health Sciences, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
