It's very useful to see the different approaches to sex therapy and in addition to having the common sex dysfunctions it has other issues in treatment like sexual offending and lack of passion. Furthermore it presents different populations and what to look for and how to approach different issues that aren't generalised to the whole population. Besides telling how sex therapy got to be what it is in present time it also finishes it with future directions to it.

In terms of content is five stars, my only reason to give four stars is that they could have make it more extensive on other issues in sex therapy that aren't related to dysfunctions like infertility and infidelity for instance.

Nevertheless for those who study sex therapy this is a great book to have.
