Product Description
Product Description
Written by a sex therapist and psychiatrist, this text is a self-help guide for women whose sexuality is inhibited or blocked by fear or physical pain. It sets about helping them to understand the blocks to a healthy sexual life by mapping the "terra incognita" of their own bodies and their sexuality. By doing this, they should gain a clearer understanding of how problems develop, and how to unravel them. There are numerous relaxation techniques, sensate focus exercises, treatments for specific disorders, and suggestions for working with sex therapists and other mental health professionals.

Great Workbook!!!, 22 April 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Sexual Fear and Pain (Paperback)
This book was very helpful in overcoming my problem. You need to realize that it isn't a straight read but a workbook for you and your partner. It has WONDERFUL relaxation techniques,an anatomy chapter, a question and answer section, a dialator therapy section and specific sections on various disorders. I found it very helpful. I recommend this workbook to anyone who has a problem of this sort. I found myself overcoming this problem (that I had for 6 years) in a matter a weeks after starting the workbook. Great purchase!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars
summary to a woman's guide....., 7 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Sexual Fear and Pain (Paperback)
This book works very well as a tool, i.e. a workbook with exercies that need to be preformed and reflected upon. I would have preferred more case stories; but overall this is a personal book that deals with intimate subjects. The authors do cover a wide range of topics, and attempt to give equal treatment to relationships beyond hetrosexual couples, which should be useful to some readers. I would have found it benefifcal to know in advance that this was designed as a workbook, so that proper time could have ben devoted to the book. Perhaps the title might be changed from a "guide" to a handbook or workbook. I would recommend this book, and ample time to the reader, for women who can benefit from assisatnce and advice in overcoming sexual fea and pan.

Review, 25 Feb 2011
By Mary P. Walley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Sexual Fear and Pain (Paperback)
Received early. The book was good but had some writing in the first chapter that was not indicated. Other than that it and the seller are both recommended.
