Excellent

Based on medical facts and psychological practice as well as personal observation, this book offers great insight into one of Man's most personal relationships - that of sexuality with another human being. There may be other great books as well, but few will be better than this.

TherapyDoc says Yes to 7 Weeks to Better Sex

I trained with Dr. Renshaw many years ago and integrate her methodology with my marital therapy. She explains basic sexuality and how the body works, debunks myths about sex, and provides an easy to follow, will work if you work it program that adds sexual gratification to marital enhancement. As a psychiatrist working in the relationship field, Dr. Renshaw is head and heels above the rest. The only qualifier for me is that Seven Weeks is misleading. Most people, without a therapist breathing down their neck and helping them with intimacy needs, are not going to do the homework necessary to make the program successful. But as a resource-- magnificent. Thanks, Domeena

A good alternative to the Sexual Dysfunction Clinic

I recommend this book to my patients because we live in an area where there are no Psychiatrists running a Sexual Dysfunction Clinic. I am not even aware of anyone doing "sex therapy" per se in our area. I recommend this text to couples who are commited to making their relationship better by working on their sexual compatibility. The program that this book is based on is a 7 week program in which couples attend for a 5 hour session every week. There is a group lecture and then the couples pair off with their therapy team usually consisting of a male and female therapist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. Many are physician's in training, medical doctors studying to be Psychiatrists. This book is written in easy language and can be followed at home, by the couple..

compelling, insightful, easy to understand

The womans voice is very nice, and gives you a feeling of inner peace almost immediately. The subjects spoke about on the tape hit home on just about every issue that happens on a regular homefront. Wonderful and it has been very helpful.
