Reviews

"""The intersection of religion and sex is often labeled as problematic or is left unaddressed in the therapeutic setting. Yet for religious clients, sexuality cannot be separated from their worldview. Dr. Caleb Jacobson's book is a powerful voice for these clients, and an indispensable resource for the therapists who serve them. Finally - sex is being spoken about from and through religious contexts in an empowering, bold, and practical manner."" Sameera Qureshi, M.S., Sexual Health For Muslims"
