Sexuality is the result of a convergence of biological, psychological and cultural phenomena. In order to tackle problems related to sexuality, an interdisciplinary approach, integrated with the contribution and skills of different areas, along with a clinical synthesis that gives the clearest sense of the difficulties of the patients is necessary.  With this in mind, this book responds to the needs of various professional figures, such as clinical sexologists, doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists, educators, as well as students of graduate schools, degree courses and university master’s programs.

It is also useful as an opportunity for updates with respect to the ever accelerated changes in the requests for treatment and the progress of the medical and psychological disciplines.  The manual is divided into two parts. The first part accompanies the worker through every step of sexual therapy, from the reception of the question to the diagnosis, to the formulation of the treatment plan. The second part explores different applications (from the use of fantasies to the practices of mindfulness) related to more specific and emerging fields of sexological therapy and redefines in a timely manner some treatments that can be used in complex clinical situations.
