I'm just gonna copy down what the back cover of the books says, cuz it covers most of what I would write anyway: "This encouraging, hope-filled book can help survivors...achieve the loving and safe sexual lives they so richly deserve. Wendy Maltz takes survivors step by step through one of the most challenging aspects of recovery....This book is filled with first-person accounts of women and men at every stage of teh sexual healing journey, and includes groundbreaking excersizes and techniques for survivors to work on alone or with their partners....This compassionate, comprehensive guide helps men and women to:
Create a positive meaning for sex and develop a healthy sexual self-concept
Gain control over upsetting automatic reactions to touch and sex
Stop negative sexual behaviors and resolve specific sexual problems
Establish or improve intimate relationships
Discover the joys of sexual intimacy..."
I have half of this book on hand at all times in the form of post-its in my study--lots of great info. This book is especially cool because it recognize both gay and straight couples, as well as men and women survivors...
(This author also wrote a book called Incest and Sexuality, which I haven't read, but I'm guessing it's probably pretty good, too.)
