This well established and highly respected text has been revised with excellent contemporary references, resources, and several new chapters. For many years it has been my preferred and recommended text offering the complete resource to the clinician who intends to both understand the theory and to practice in a truly systemic manner. Professor Kevan Wylie, MD, FRCP, FRCPsych, FRCOG, president, European Federation of Sexology; past president, World Association for Sexual Health Today's social climate is rapidly changing and as such, sex therapists require knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of important issues that were not part of the sex therapy academic curriculum even a decade ago. This revised text, edited by Hertlein, Gambescia, and Weeks, provides new chapters consistent with the changes in the DSM-5 and includes cutting-edge topics in sex therapy, including technology and culture. Systemic Sex Therapy is a highly recommended resource that should be required reading in all sex therapy training programs. Talli Y.
