Medical interventions tend to focus purely on the physical issue. Emphasising that sex is about much more than \"successful\" intercourse, and that sex therapy is about much more than \"fixing\" the dysfunction, she provides a thorough examination of the different types of sex therapy on offer – from appropriate information-giving to the training and work of a qualified psychosexual therapist.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarian O'Connor\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eis a psychosexual therapist, couple psychoanalytic psychotherapist and former head of MSc in Psychosexual Therapy, Tavistock Relationships\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Cate's chapter on professionalism addresses the issues of being a psychosexual therapist with a \"down to earth\" no-nonsense approach, making it very easy to integrate this advice into professional practice. In particular, I was struck by her highlighting the effect that our chosen profession can have on our families, colleagues, personal and professional relationships, and the fantasies and projections they may have about our work. Very sound advice from a very experience professional, and ideal reading for experienced psychosexual therapists and students alike.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJo Coker\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eis a counselling psychologist and COSRT Professional Standards Manager\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'\u003cem\u003eSex Therapy: The Basics\u003c\/em\u003e is a courageous attempt to wrestle sex and relationship matters away from the specialist professionals – a decided minority – and to restore them to the vast group of health professionals dealing with them on a day-to-day basis. Her publication treads a fine line between accessibility and the necessary nuances required by this important field. The inclusion of professional issues as well as diversity themes is particularly laudable. As course director of a national training organisation focusing on sex and relationships, I welcome this pioneering work and consider it essential reading.' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernd Leygraf\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eis a consultant psychotherapist and CEO of the Naos Institute\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1.
