Sexual Dysfunction in Men (eBook)

"By far the best professional book ever published about understanding, assessing,
and treating male sexual dysfunction."
Sexual dysfunctions in men, such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory disorders,
and low sexual desire, are typically sources of significant distress for men. This
book, being published with the companion volume Sexual Dysfunction in Women,
provides general therapists with practical, yet succinct evidence-based guidance
on the diagnosis and treatment of the most common male sexual disorders encountered
in clinical practice. It assumes that mental health professionals and
other clinicians without expertise in the field of sex therapy have much to offer
these men by combining a multidisciplinary understanding of issues surrounding
sexual problems with their general clinical knowledge and expertise. With tables
and marginal notes to assist orientation, the book is designed for quick and easy
reference while at the same time providing more in-depth understanding for
those desiring it. The book can serve as a go-to guide for professional clinicians in
their daily work and is an ideal educational resource for students and for practiceoriented
continuing education. Recent Praise:

"Simply put, this is by far the best professional book ever published about understanding, assessing, and
treating male sexual dysfunction. David Rowland examines the biopsychosocial model of sexual function
and dysfunction and applies a multi-dimensional, complex approach to understanding and changing male
sexual dysfunction. This book makes a major contribution to the field and should be on the bookshelf
of every psychologist, physician, and couple therapist treating men individually or in couple therapy."
