very thourough

no matter how many psychology and medical definitions about vaginismus i read, nothing comes close to this through explanation through personal experience, the author uses herself and other peoples stories to make us understand exactly what it is, and most importantly that there is always hope.

GREAT BOOK!! It's helped our support group ENORMOUSLY!

THANK YOU for this book...!Hope it goes back in print soon!!It's not a blatant self-promotional tool like the other one put out by the "clinicians" (SOCIAL WORKERS ONLY) at the WTC. What a joke!

HELP ME!!

I have been trying to get hold of ANY of Ms Valins books for over a year and a half,does ANYONE know where I can obtain them? I live in Japan and cannot get treatment for this "illness", it has lead to bouts of depression. Please advise me on how to obtain any of her material. Thank-you, from one woman to another.

I AM NOT ALONE ANYMORE,THANK YOU MS. VALINS
