Product Description
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the focus in sex therapy was on behavior change. Sex therapists then usually acted as guides, describing techniques and assigning sensate-focused homework. In the 1990s, the availability of a wealth of new information and procedures, combined with our current understanding of the significance of such factors as family-of-origin issues and patient emotions and cognitions, has brought the practice of sex therapy to a new level of sophistication. Designed as a succinct guide to contemporary sex therapy, this book provides a state-of-the-art, empirically based overview of the most common sexual dysfunctions, and a step-by-step manual
for their assessment and treatment.

Very Informative
I ordered this book forclass. I have only read a little of it, but what I have read is very easy to read and informative. It's similar to the DSM for sexual dysfunctions but a lot easier language!

Good
This second edition is one of the best treaties on the issue of sexual disorders that I have ever read. Completed by the first edition this pack is something that you not want to miss. A great book that does disappoint in some areas[...].

Not Helpful for a "Lay" Reader
This book is not one I would recommend for "personal enrichment" use.It is very technical, with the usual statistical graphs, etc.I found the categories considered to be components of dysfunction somewhatinteresting. ... Read more

Product Description
A groundbreaking book by the co-directors of one of the country's first women's sexual health clinics-destined to be an essential resource for women throughout the country.

According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, 43 percent of American women suffer from some kind of sexual dysfunction. And though the introduction of Viagra has increased attention to male sexual concerns, the problems women face are often ignored. For Women Only is the first book to offer a comprehensive exploration of female sexual dysfunction.

The co-directors of the Women's Sexual Health Clinic at Boston University Medical Center -- Jennifer Berman, a urologist, and her sister, Laura Berman, a sex therapist-draw on research and clinical findings to show that many of the physical problems that cause impotence in men can cause sexual dysfunction in women. In addition, many women experience diminished sexual response as they age, go through menopause, and after hysterectomies or other pelvic surgery.

Covering both physiological and psychological issues in a straightforward, sympathetic style, the Bermans provide authoritative, easy-to-understand information on the medical breakthroughs and treatments that can help women of all ages enjoy more fulfilling sex lives.
Amazon.com Review
Although Jennifer Berman, M.D., and Laura Berman, Ph.D., readily agree that "the most important sex organ in the human body is the brain," thelast thing they want anyone to believe is that all female sexualproblems are mental--quite the contrary. Findings gathered from their ownresearch and clinical practice show that, like men, women often undergophysical changes and challenges that lead to sexual dysfunction; in fact,nearly half of all women in the U.S. experience sexual problems at somepoint during their lifetime. Through their frank but personable discussionabout the female sexual response, sisters Jennifer (a urologist) and Laura(a sex therapist) virtually open their clinic doors to readers; they shareclient stories, fully describe their clinical patient-assessment process,provide an updated anatomy lesson, and offer practical suggestions forenhancing sexual pleasure.

As founders and co-directors of the Women's Sexual Health Clinic at BostonUniversity Medical Center, the Bermans have treated a variety of ailments, including loss of libido (due to medical factors, emotional issues, or menopause) and arousal and pain disorders. They address it here in plain,understandable words designed to empower women with better informationabout their bodies and the many factors that can affect sexual well-being.In a way, the book reads almost like a diary of their practice, bolsteredby the occasional critical essay (such as chapter 2, "The History ofFemale Sexuality," or chapter 6, "Sexuality Through the Life Cycle"). For Women Only is a sensitive, sensible, and timely take on a previously "pooh-poohed" subject--with encouraging conclusions that are long overdue. --LianeThomas ... Read more

Enlightening
The Women's International Pharmacy recommended this book to me.At 66, I was surprised to learn so much about my body and highly recommended it to women of all ages.

Good book and good service .
Both books I ordered were delivered on time and in excellent condition .
I am about to look for other books and was very satisfied with the service .

An easy, reassuring read
I liked the book! I've found that most people I talk to don't know Jack about female (and probably male) anatomy and this book is a starting point to remedy that. Just for that fact I recommend reading it. There may be better books out there for that purpose. I haven't looked into that.

The authors also repeatedly stress the idea that female sexual dysfunction is not something we should put up with nor something we should think of as only in our heads. Of course it's an obvious conclusion that sexual dysfunction is almost always at least a combination of medical, emotional and relationship issues but that doesn't make it less profound and I think I needed to hear (or read) that every person is entitled to be thoroughly examined and if necessary (and possible) treated by a physician for sexual dysfunction. I will not let a `professional' send me home again because they are not willing to look into my problem. I will keep looking for a physician who cares and is qualified.

I found the style of the book easy to read and very encouraging. I also liked the fact that the authors repeatedly express that there is no norm to comply with when it comes to sexuality and that something is only a problem if it is a problem for you.

The Berman's Book and Height of Arrogance and Ignorance
I was very unhapy with this book. I bought it under the guisethinking there would be new information on treating female sexual arousal disorder, a condition that has plagued my marriage over the last 8 years as my wife has had clitoral arousal and vaginal lubrication problems. There is nothing new in this book - except maybe a direct/indirect sales pitch for their clinic, and my wife and I are are contemplating a divorce due to her/our problem. The Berman's are NOT the experts they think they are - unless it's in the areas of hype and arrogance. Save your money and use the internet for information on Female Sexual Arousal Disorder, this book was a complete waste of money.

Berman's are the Best

A Very Informative Book!
If you plan to purchase just one book on this subject, this is the book! The author covers every pertinent area of sexual health and goes an extra step in each; physical fitness, mental health/outlook, vitamin supplements, and self control to name a few. I particularly appreciate the dietary guide, which is concise, yet extremely thorough. There is also an excellent resource and links section that offers a variety of helpful services. I now look forward to the writer's other offerings in this series; "Recession Royalties: How To Make Money Online No Matter What The Economy Is Doing", and "Social Madness!". Keep up the good work.

Product Description

Secret Suffering: How Women's Sexual and Pelvic Pain Affects Their Relationships is the first book to explain how pelvic and sexual pain affects the lives of women (and men) and their partners in their own words/ The work also provides information on cutting-edge research and describes the most effective treatment modalities. Susan Bilheimer, coauthor, shares her own experiences as a patient who has gone down the painful, frustrating road of living with an illness that is often dismissed and not taken seriously. Robert J. Echenberg, M.D., coauthor, has treated over 700 women (and some men) with the disorder. He shares his decades of experience and expertise as a gynecologist and specialist in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain.

Not only does CPP interfere with a woman's physical and mental health, it can wreak havoc in family relationships, ruin careers, and wreck marriages. In the majority of cases, women suffer in silence. Even when they do seek medical help, what they find too often is inadequate care, as most doctors, even gynecological specialists, are not properly trained in recognizing, much less treating, all aspects of CPP.

Through classic, new, and emerging research, with statements from experts and interviews with CPP sufferers and their partners, Secret Suffering exposes and gives strong voice and compassionate understanding to this complex disorder. Most importantly, information on effective treatments for CPP, as well as the depression and other psychological fallout it may cause, are presented. Through Secret Suffering, Bilheimer and Echenberg finally shatter the silence, educate patients, build understanding, and demand that chronic pelvic and genital pain be taken seriously by the medical community.

This book covers it all, really goes into the nitty gritty of these disorders!
I have read several books on this subject and this is by far my favorite.As someone that suffers with some of these conditions it was so validating the read the experiences of those with similiar tales and also to read that I am not the only one that has been treated horribly by many in the medical community.This book not only addresses all the physical components of these disorders but the social and emotional aspects.I love the chapter for single women especially as that is what I must deal with.In this sex obsessed society it is very hard not to be jaded and cynical regarding relationships with the opposite sex when you are afflicted with pain at the heart of the matter.Ms. Billheimer and Dr. Echenberg have done such a great service to all of us out here that are suffering in silence with sexuual pain disorders!

Secret Suffering How Women's Sexual and Pelvic Pain Affects Their Relationships
As I began reading Secret Suffering I found myself able to identify with each and every topic.I have been a patient for almost 28 years which I feel qualifies me to say that this book is right on target when it comes to the emotional and physical aspects of chronic pelvic pain. I admit I cried through some of the chapters but, at the same time I felt as if it was speaking to me personally saying "You're not alone" and "You have the right to be heard"! I also loved that the authors explain the differences between male and female's way of problem solving and difference between the way we think.It told me to stop assuming and to start asking my partner how he feels.A huge burden was lifted and I learn the true meaning of intimacy. Secret suffering gives the reader a look into the reality of pelvic pain which can be a bit heart wrenching but at the same time very educational. If you're living in denial, if you're feeling guilty about not being able to have spontaneous sex with your partner, if you feel your family doesn't believe you or doctor is far from compassionate I recommend that you read this book.

Gloria Prater, Patient

Think Twice Before Reading this Book
You may notice that most of my comments here are the same as those I wrote in response to Arielle's review...I wanted to be sure to have my own rating acknowledged as well...

While I commend this book on its short chapter on single women, the general conclusion is that many of the single women have decided not to date. I've read numerous other books that have brought this issue to light, but have also given me at least some glimmer of hope, whereas this book left me feeling like I'd be alone forever. I suggest "The Vulvodynia Survival Guide" by Howard Glazer and Gay Rodke, which includes personal accounts of women who have found understanding partners. "Secret Suffering" upset me so much that I showed it to my sex therapist, a woman prominent in her field, who said that she would not recommend this book to her single clients. She said that the lack of compassion on the part of the male partners is especially disturbing and is not representative of all of the partners of her other pelvic pain clients. In fact, although the actual pain is obviously being experienced by the woman, she encourages couples to think of the pain as a problem they share, not just a female problem.

disappointed
I found this book very depressing. The men in the book showed very little compassion for the women suffering from these disorders. I feel like we live in a misogynistic culture where women are expected to please men, and it's okay in our culture if that means women must suffer excruciating pain.

It is a sad commentary on a lack of empathy in men as a whole. I think there are men who would read this book and be ashamed of the behavior of the males in this book. I certainly hope so anyway.

I cannot understand why this book has gotten so many great reviews.

Yes women feel guilty, but they shouldn't feel this way for something that is not their fault. And that guilt should not lead them to feel pressure to engage in sexual activities that are extremely painful.

It's great that this book has brought this subject "out of the closet".

Now it's time to rethink the stigma that is placed on women with legitimate medical sexual pain. It's time for these disorders to receive the publicity they deserve, so that the general public can understand that not only are these disorders physical conditions, but they affect a substantial part of the female population (18 percent of women are diagnosed with vulvodynia- a condition which makes sex impossible in many cases).

A better book is "Let me Count the Ways" by Marty Klein- a book that discusses alternatives to penetrative sex, so that women and/or men who suffer from pelvic dysfunction do not have to feel guilty or pressured to engage in sexual activities that are impossible, uncomfortable, or extremely painful.

WARNING: If you are single and suffering from pelvic dysfunction, this book will only make you despair and feel more alone.

It is not a comforting book at all.

I read this book and felt horrible afterwards...

Finally someone understands.
I have suffered from chronic pelvic pain for almost 30 years.Even though my family is aware of my health problems, until I read this book, "Secret Suffering", by Dr. Echenberg & Susan Bilheimer, I felt like I was going through this all alone.This book encompasses underlying causes for pain, & treatments that are available, but most important to my healing experience- it gave me faith that there are doctors out there who do believe & want to help us,... & the overwhelming feeling of relief that can only come from sharing experiences of those who suffer like me.If you or someone you know has this type of medical problem, educate yourself, seek treatment, don't give up- & READ THIS BOOK.It MIGHT NOT make the pain go away.... but it WILL make you feel better :-) ...

This is a must read
Mic Hunter's book, from 1992, is still relevant and excellent. As a clinician, I use this book with a wide variety of clients - even those who have not experienced sexual trauma.Since we live in such a sexually dysfunctional culture, Hunter's book offers an excellent way to process our beliefs and to help our society move toward healthy and vibrant sexuality/sensuality that is also in alignment with our true values.

Hunter does an excellent job in not hoisting his beliefs upon the reader, but assisting the reader in exploring his/her experiences and teachings (covert and overt) about sex, relationships, sexuality and their body.

Hopefully, this book will become available again. It will remain on my top 10 list!

Oustanding Insight into sexually dysfunctional childhood....
Amazing reading... Joyous Sexuality has captured the essence of sexual dysfunction problems and how they relate to adult life. Mic Hunter has simply, but eloquently, shown how successful recovery can be achieved ifone will only follow and adhere to the 12 step program outlined in thebook. He has also provided workspace to allow the reader to participatewhich is necessary for successful recovery. I recommend this book to anyonewith any form of sexual addiction or relationship difficulties. ... Read more

Forget about Madame Palm and her five daughters
Even though I am not a man, well not last time I checked anyway, I was excited to read Sexual Health Secrets for Men, because I have written a couple of articles for Hubpages on Common mistakes made by men during sex; as well as Common mistakes made by women during sex.I thought I'd get some background on how it all works for a man.
I was surprised to read that masturbation is bad for men, but I have to say, the justification made a lot of sense.So, cut Madame Palm and her five daughters out of your life if you are a man!
The exercises, diet and massages made a lot of sense as well.A good subtitle would be 'Get Fit for Fun.'
I think this book would make an ideal gift for a man who needs to get serious about sex.It was well-written and had no techno-jargon and doctor-speak that a simpleton lkike me would not be able to understand.It even seems to give substance to my theory that men with big paunches and beer bellies have small willies.

A Helpful Boost
As a woman there is certainly a limit to how much I can attest to the workings of this book but my partner was pleased and impressed by it.

It was well written, easily explained and didn't make the reader feel talked down to. I was very impressed with the clinical tone but the ease of the wording.
