Reviews

'this publication certainly offers something `extra' to the UK sex therapy community. This is achieved partly by describing non-UK perspectives and addressing contentious areas such as sex coaching and sex addiction, but largely by taking an integrative, inclusive and holistic approach to working with sexual issues, bridging analytic and behavioural models with the addition of spirit and soul...The overall message of this publication is to look beyond pathology and biology towards the essentially individual and complex sexual identities of each client, captured in the neat existential concepts of `bracketing' and `horizontalizing' (chapter 3) - that is, holding our client's map of the world distinct from and no less valuable than our own'- Julie Sale, Therapy Today, July 2015
