Great Workbook!!!
This book was very helpful in overcoming my problem.You need to realize that it isn't a straight read but a workbook for you and your partner.It has WONDERFUL relaxation techniques,an anatomy chapter, a question and answer section, a dialator therapy section and specific sections on various disorders.I found it very helpful.I recommend this workbook to anyone who has a problem of this sort.I found myself overcoming this problem (that I had for 6 years) in a matter a weeks after starting the workbook.Great purchase!!!

summary to a woman's guide.....
This book works very well as a tool, i.e. a workbook with exercies that need to be preformed and reflected upon. I would have preferred more case stories; but overall this is a personal book that deals with intimatesubjects. The authors do cover a wide range of topics, and attempt to giveequal treatment to relationships beyond hetrosexual couples, which shouldbe useful to some readers. I would have found it benefifcal to know inadvance that this was designed as a workbook, so that proper time couldhave ben devoted to the book. Perhaps the title might be changed from a"guide" to a handbook or workbook. I would recommend this book,and ample time to the reader, for women who can benefit from assisatnce andadvice in overcoming sexual fea and pan. ... Read more

Product Description
Although impotence may be the most widely recognized manifestation of male sexual dysfunction, many other forms of sexual disorders do not involve the erectile mechanism, from deficiencies of desire to disturbances in ejaculatory function to the failure of detumescence.With such a myriad-and often co-existing-number of disorders, the successful treatment of male sexual dysfunction requires not only a thorough understanding of the underlying physiology and pathophysiology, but also the coordinated efforts of multiple specialties, including endocrinology, andrology, urology, radiology, sex therapy, and even sometimes psychiatry, cardiology, or oncology.Male Sexual Dysfunction: Pathophysiology and Treatment presents the collective expertise of more than 60 international authorities in a single landmark text.From foundations in the anatomy of the male genital tract to the latest neuroimaging data, readers will appreciate the comprehensive information detailing the tremendous advances made in the delineation of sexual function and its disorders as well as the expert descriptions of practical and cost-effective medical, surgical, and psychological strategies for the treatment of all forms of male sexual dysfunction. ...

This book focuses on improving the social and intimacy skills of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors so that they may return to society and establish relationships in which they will be able to function sexually.The information and the suggested methods in the book are the result of the authors? experience gainedfrom working with survivors, their families, and staff in different rehabilitation facilities. The book will provide professionals in the field of rehabilitation with an understanding of the issue of sexuality after TBI and how to plan an intervention program at various stages of the rehabilitation process.Divided into two sections, the authors identify and discuss the problems relating to sexuality after TBI and also review the current literature on the subject. Professional and survivor perceptions of TBI and its physical and medical aspects are also discussed. The effects of TBI on human response is also included, along with intervention techniques with partners and family. Also provided is a rationale and framework for a sexual intervention program. This program suggests goals for sexual intervention, small group therapy, individual and couples counseling, and explores the use of surrogate therapy. Case studies on the use of surrogate therapy are provided, with the authors detailing the process, definition, and training of surrogates for therapy. Although the book is geared mainly for working with survivors after TBI, there are elements in the program that can also be applied to other disability groups, such as persons with mental retardation and persons with a psychiatric disability. It will be of interest to those who work with these groups, such as professionals in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, as well as rehabilitation psychologists and counselors. By reading this book, professionals will be able to contribute to the quality of life of survivors of TBI and their families. ... Read more

Sexual difficulties after traumatic brain injury
Sexuality and disability are two issues that you will not find in many textbooks and many professionals are sometimes quite ambivalent to the topic, but this book will be a good source for professionals. Ronit Aloni is a sex therapist affiliated with the Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital in Raanana, Israel, with a background in studies on human sexuality at New York University and Shlomo Katz, is professor of rehabilitation psychology at Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel. Ronit Aloni�s doctoral thesis on �Designing an early sexual intervention program for the first stage of the rehabilitation of persons with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)� forms the basis for this book.
This book has two sections. Section one on identification and discussion of problems relating to sexuality after TBI with five chapters on TBI, disability and sexuality; a survey of the literature; physical and medical aspects of sexuality; effects of TBI on the human sexual response and a review of intervention techniques. Section two on intervention techniques has four chapters on suggested intervention program for staff; intervention for partners and family; suggested intervention program with survivors of TBI and the use of surrogate therapy in the intervention program. The book also has a useful bibliography and index.
We found the book very informative on how to plan an intervention program for persons in rehabilitation with illustrative case stories and even though the book is mainly for survivors of TBI, its message can be used for persons with other disabilities or even intellectual disability. We recommend this book for professionals working with people with disability in order to understand the issue of sexuality and rehabilitation in this population. ... Read more

Older version
Purchased this book and one I thought was the text to go along with workbook.Turns out, this one is just the older version, there is no separate workbook. Wish I would have known. Am sending it back, or will look to sell to used book store.

Must Have
This is the book you must read if you are facing this addiction or know someone who is. Sexual addiction is no joke, it ruins many lives. This book will help in understanding what is happening to the addict.

Very satisfied
This book is informative and comprehensive.I especially appreciated the various tools given to increase awareness.

Help for sexual addiction
It is becoming increasingly important for counsellors and psychotherapists to educate themselves about the issue of Sexual Addiction, which can be defined as out-of-control and damaging sexual behaviour in relation to Internet sex, prostitution, telephone sex, multiple affairs etc. Modern society provides a huge range of options for artificially enhanced, relatively impersonal sexual stimulation, and in our counselling practices we are more frequently meeting clients who may be addicted in some of these areas.

I recommend this new 2nd edition of Carnes' book as an introduction to the subject. Carnes has been the field leader in Sexual Addiction counselling since publishing "Out of the Shadows" in 1983, and the present book accessibly summarises his thinking about the problem, along with approaches for helping those who may be struggling with it. The main addition since the 1st edition is a more detailed exploration of the growing phenomenon of Cybersex (Internet sex) addiction.

Having been involved in the development of addiction treatment/recovery in the USA for many years, Carnes' thinking is a blend of influences taken from 12-Step programmes such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous, from Cognitive-Behavioural techniques such as written inventories and challenging core beliefs, and from relevant neurobiological findings. He has a deep understanding of the nature of Addictive Behaviours over and above the familiar example of Chemical Dependency, and his key contribution to the field may be his description of the Sexual Addiction Cycle, where Preoccupation leads to Ritualisation, which leads to addictive Acting Out behaviours; the Pain arising from this acting out can then be numbed by further Preoccupation, which closes the self-perpetuating cycle.

Carnes is also known for his Tasks approach to recovery. In this book he focuses on what he sees as the first 7 recovery tasks:

1. Breaking through denial
2. Understanding addiction
3. Surrendering to the process
4. Limiting damage
5. Establishing sobriety
6. Ensuring physical integrity
7. Participating in a culture of support

In earlier books he included Reducing Shame, which he now leaves until the second phase of recovery. My own experience, and those of many other therapists working with the Centre for Sexual Addictions, is that it is important to address the issue of shame and self-hatred at an early stage. Clients may see themselves and their sexuality in a very negative light, perhaps partly due to the negativity towards sexuality which has been a part of Irish culture, and may be in danger of trying to force themselves into the opposite extreme of complete avoidance and denial of sexuality (Carnes is alert to this danger, calling it Sexual Anorexia, and he has written an important book on the subject, entitled "Sexual Anorexia: Overcoming Sexual Self-Hatred").


Perhaps the main strength of this book is that it can be useful to both therapist and client alike, and while I have never worked through the whole book with any client, we can together make productive use of some of the handouts/exercises/inventories (for instance, the Consequences Inventory).


Eoin Stephens is Director of Education & Training at PCI College, and at the Centre for Sexual Addictions (www.csa-addictions.ie), a division of the Institute for Behavioural & Mental Health (www.ibmh.info).

Amazing
This author (Patrick Carnes) is the most knowledgable person on the topic of Sexual Addiction.This book is good for people who like to have a workbook.There are a lot of quizzes and journaling places, so you can really get to the bottom of your problems.If you are not going to want to journal or take quizzes in the book, I would reccommend some of his other books.I hear great things about his original "facing the shadow" book.I kind of wish I had bought that one actually. ...
