Summary:"Prepared by one of the world's leading authorities, Human Sexuality and Its Problems remains the foremost comprehensive reference in the field. Now available in a larger format, this classic volume continues to address the neurophysiological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects of human sexuality and how they interact. Fully updated throughout, the new edition places a greater emphasis on theory and its role in sex research, draws on the latest global research and reviews the clinical management of problematic sexuality, providing clear, practical guidelines for clinical interventions."--BOOK JACKET.
