Special ""Sexual Healing"" sections are dispersed throughout, containing relevant questions and answers relating to the difficulties that arise in different areas of sexuality and communication. The methods used in the book are tried and true exercises successfully used by the authors in couple and individual therapy.

Holczer and Bennett offer a comprehensive and practical approach to working through the real-life challenges of intimacy.

Good communication is at the heart of any relationship. Communicating about sex is often difficult to do - with our children, our health care providers, and also our partners. This new book by Ginger Holczer and Libby Bennett tackles this topic with humour and common sense, using stories, exercises and expert advice. Anyone working with couples can recommend this book as well as use it in their own practice; it will be a welcome addition to their arsenal of 'must reads'.--Anne Katz, RN, Ph.D.
