Men’s Sexual Health and Fertility: A Clinician’s Guide

October 27, 2017

[amazon template=image&asin=1493904248]

In the last decade, much of the clinical interest in the field of infertility has focused on advancing reproductive techniques and has often under-appreciated the role that male sexuality plays in reproductive problems. Male sexual function is an integral part of reproduction, and the treatment of sexual dysfunction is an important component for any couple seeking fertility. In some cases, treatment of sexual dysfunction may obviate the need for more invasive cures through advanced reproductive techniques. Thanks to recent clinical and scientific advances in male sexual medicine, the management of men’s sexual dysfunction is often more effective and less invasive than how it was historically described.

Men’s Sexual Health and Fertility is the only resource that focuses on the interplay and interconnections between male sexual dysfunction and male factor infertility, gathering insightful data from a panel of experts in male sexual medicine for clinicians who treat couples with fertility issues due to male sexual dysfunction. Chapters discuss advances in the field of men’s sexual medicine, including the latest treatment for erectile dysfunction, the most up-to-date understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of ejaculation, and the growing body of evidence that low testosterone and male infertility are intimately related. As such, this book provides important information in order to be able to better understand the link between sexual dysfunction and infertility and, most importantly, to better treat male sexual dysfunction in the infertile couple.

The AIDS Pandemic: Searching for a Global Response 1st ed. 2018 Edition

September 25, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=3319471325]

This ambitious book provides a comprehensive history of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Programme on AIDS (GPA), using it as a unique lens to trace the global response to the AIDS pandemic. The authors describe how WHO came initially to assume leadership of the global response, relate the strategies and approaches WHO employed over the years, and expound on the factors that led to the Programme’s demise and subsequent formation of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The authors examine the global impact of this momentous transition, portray the current status of the global response to AIDS, and explore the precarious situation that WHO finds itself in today as a lead United Nations agency in global health.

Several aspects of the global response – the strategies adopted, the roads taken and not taken, and the lessons learned – can provide helpful guidance to the global health community as it continues tackling the AIDS pandemic and confronts future global pandemics.

Included in the coverage:

·The response before the global response

·Building and coordinating a multi-sectoral response

·Containing the global spread of HIV

·Addressing stigma, discrimination, and human rights

·Rethinking global AIDS governance

·UNAIDS: finding its place in congested waters

The AIDS Pandemic will find an engaged audience among policymakers, students, faculty, journalists, researchers, and other health professionals working and interested in global health, public health, the World Health Organization, HIV/AIDS, global pandemics, the history of medicine, and global health policy. It will also interest those involved in international relations, international development, global affairs and governance, the United Nations, and NGOs.

This expansive survey spotlights pervasive issues affecting girls’ and women’s sexual and reproductive health across the lifecourse.

Girl child marriage: a persistent global women’s health and human rights violation
Investigating challenges and resilience among women living with obstetric fistula in Kenya
A qualitative exploration of mainstream and social media reflections on abortion
A continuum of severity of sexual intimate partner violence among black women in the United States
Economic empowerment to improve sexual and reproductive health among women and girls

Summarizing an interdisciplinary field on research and practical levels, Global Perspectives on Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Across the Lifecourse will be an invaluable text for undergraduate and graduate courses in a wide range of fields, including public health, global health, women’s studies, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and human rights.

September 22, 2017

[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=1593853491]

“This state-of-the-art fourth edition nicely integrates psychosocial, biological, and medical information and treatment protocols. Presenting a variety of exciting advances in the field, the book is well organized and includes helpful chapter introductions. The tables that are incorporated into most chapters are particularly useful for graduate teaching. This is an ideal text for graduate sex therapy education, and it will also serve as a valuable and useful resource for training medical and nursing professionals.”–Marsha T. Carolan, PhD, LMFT, Michigan State University

“This is a time of vigorous debate and reappraisal of sexuality and its problems, fueled by the need to balance new pharmacological interventions with appropriate psychological interventions. The previous edition of this book saw a shift to a model of care that combines both of these approaches, and the fourth edition reinforces this integrative emphasis. The main themes continue and have been updated, and with many of the chapters written by new authors, there are a variety of fresh perspectives. Invaluable reading for anyone training in or practicing sex therapy, this work has become the ‘gold standard’ text in the field.”–John Bancroft, MD, Senior Research Fellow and former Director, Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction

“With this fourth edition, Leiblum demonstrates once again why she is this generation’s leader in the education and training of sex therapists. This outstanding, well-regarded text should be on the shelf of every practicing sex therapist and trainee. The chapters are well written, well organized, interesting, and timely. The liberal use of case study material enriches each chapter by illustrating the practical uses of the concepts described. As with previous editions, this book will be required reading in my graduate-level sex therapy courses.”–Daniel N. Watter, EdD, private practice, Parsippany, New Jersey; Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Seton Hall University and Fairleigh Dickinson University

“This fourth edition is a ‘must-have’ for all clinicians working with sexual complaints and issues. Leiblum has assembled a truly multidisciplinary cadre of leading experts in the various subfields within sexuality practice. Based on cutting-edge research, all chapters optimally combine diagnostic and assessment issues with treatment recommendations, and are illustrated by in-depth, informative case examples and commentary. The book also addresses debates surrounding diagnostic issues, the integration of mental health and medical expertise, and more. I plan to use this text with third-year obstetrics and gynecology residents in a sexual medicine rotation. It is also ideal for graduate-level sex therapy students in a variety of mental health disciplines.”–Lori A. Brotto, PhD, RPsych, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of British Columbia, Canada

“A silver anniversary is an important milestone worth celebrating, and this landmark text remains crucial and invigorating after more than a quarter-century. The fourth edition reflects many exciting, continuing advances in knowledge about sex and intimate relationships. It recognizes the need to assess and treat individuals and couples on both the psychological and physical levels, offering a balanced, integrative, and accessible understanding of each problem area discussed. This book is certainly a key text for trainee sex therapists, medical and nursing students, and practicing clinicians, and I intend to recommend it across a multidisciplinary training class of postgraduates.”–Kevan R Wylie, MD, Editor-in-Chief, Sexual and Relationship Therapy; Porterbrook Clinic and Sheffield Hallam University, UK

“Twenty three prestigious authors, academicians and clinicians have contributed to the fourth edition of this large comprehensive body of work. A multitude of challenging sexual complaints are fully described and attention given to the most current, integrated, evidence-based, clinically sophisticated methods.”

(Metapsychology Online Reviews 2006-12-02)

“An amazing overview of sex therapy by highly respected specialists with the most up-to-date knowledge in the field….The book is edited so well that it reads as if all of the chapters are written, beautifully, by one single expert….The case examples are extremely helpful and convey in practice the theory and research so thoroughly elaborated in each chapter….This text is extremely comprehensive, with chapters on complicated topics….This is a remarkable textbook that can add enormously to a clinician’s knowledge.”

(Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic 2006-12-02)

“The presence of the heavy hitters in the field is one of the strengths of this volume as it gives the reader a view of the cutting edge of research and practice in sex therapy….A well-edited book that offers a clinically focused look from an expert’s perspective, at the current status of sex therapy. It is appropriate as a text for a graduate course in sex therapy or for anyone who wants an update on current practices in this field. In addition, a number of chapters have relevance for anyone conducting therapy.”

(Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy 2006-12-02)

“This highly readable book is of value to most practitioners working with adults, even if their caseload is general and not specific to sex therapy….4 Stars!”
