Loss of Desire

Handbook on sexual dysfunctions in theory and practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sexual dysfunction is widespread, but often invisible. It affects body and soul, relationship and identity - and is an expression of complex internal and external tensions. This book provides a deep insight into the complex relationships of sexual dysfunction and sheds light on it from a medical, psychological, social, cultural and ethical perspective. For professionals, this work provides a comprehensive basis for diagnosis and therapy at the cutting edge of science and practice. For those affected, it creates a comprehensible, sensitive and non-pathologising understanding of sexual health. The focus is always on the person - with their history, their relationships, their physicality and their ability to change. In addition to classic treatment approaches, the book presents new forms of therapy: from personalised hormone and psychotherapies, body-centred methods, mindfulness-based sex therapies and virtual reality-supported interventions to digitally assisted self-help programmes. It also discusses integrative concepts that incorporate social factors such as gender roles, cultural norms and digital sex cultures into therapeutic work. An interdisciplinary work of reference - differentiated, well-founded and humane. For a future sexology that not only heals but also understands - and takes sexuality seriously as a vibrant expression of dignity, self-determination and relationship skills.
