Sexual Medicine in Primary Care

By William L. Maurice, Majorie A. Bowman MD MPA, William L. Maurice MD FRCP(C)

This new text takes the practitioner through all stages of handling patients sexual problems, from taking the history to recommending treatment -- including Viagra -- to knowing when to refer. The author, a specialist in sexual medicine, has worked in a consultation with a general practitioner, to ensure that the information is relevant and applicable to general practice.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part concentrates on aspects of talking to patients and clients about sexual problems generally. The second partfocuses on aspects of sexual dysfunctions and the most common kind of sexual problems encountered by general practitioners: how they appear, what causes them, how frequent they are, how they might be investigated (including suggested questions to ask), what kind of treatments are useful, what self-help readings to suggest, and when to refer to specialist.

* Includes case histories throughout, guiding you through history-taking and the physical exam. * Contains specific questions to ask when a patient reveals a problem (and special techniques to use with patients who seem reluctant to talk). * Presents up-to-date information on suggested treatments, including Viagra.

A GUIDE TO READ

"Sexual Medicine in Primary Care",by William L. Maurice is the kind of book that once read, will never be forgotten... The author gives a guideline that takes you to the world of Sexology...The way that the author writes the Sexual History-taking,Interviewing and Assesment gives general aspects that are important to conduct the first step on Sextherapy. Sexual Dysfunctions are shown as a comprehensive matter...I would like to give a special attention to the part of the book where the author writes an important aspect of Medications and Sexual Function...It reminds me Helen Kaplan...
