Women and Sex Therapy

In the past, there has been little feminist dialogue among sexuality professionals, nor has there been a great deal of communication between feminist therapists and sex therapists. But sexuality cannot be understood unless the woman's perspective is taken fully into account. Women and Sex Therapy: Closing the Circle of Sexual Knowledge is one of the first major works to examine seriously women's issues pertaining to sexuality. Sex therapists, educators, and counselors - all experienced in working with women- focus on concerns central to women and sexuality that have not been adequately addressed in existing sex therapy literature - women and AIDS, the new reproductive options, current practices in sex therapy and sex research, the relationships between female sexuality and physical conditions, intimacy, orgasm, bisexuality, and lesbianism. This informative, contemporary volume takes us all one step further toward closing the circle of sexual knowledge. --- from book's back cover
