Intended to tickle your sense of humor as well as enliven your therapeutic imagination, Quickies demonstrates that the best sex therapy is often the briefest. Readers will find here a refreshing array of time-efficient, client-focused approaches for working with sexual problems. Informed by theory but geared toward therapeutic practice, each chapter of this handbook includes clinical case examples that illustrate how to help clients celebrate rather than fear their sexuality.Green and Flemons have gathered a host of authors who possess a wealth of experience and great clinical insight. The contributors, all prominent practitioners of brief therapy, share a passion for accessing the expertise and wisdom of their clients, pointing them away from terminal diagnoses, and directing them toward creative, significant therapeutic change. While all of the authors share a commitment to brevity and respectful practice, they each offer distinctive ideas and techniques for working with a wide range of presenting complaints, from ?exual addiction'and ?ismatches of desire,?to erection problems, painful intercourse, and ?ad orgasms.'The resources made available in Quickies are diverse and rich; each chapter offers unique insight into the clinical thinking and therapeutic approach of one or more expert practitioners. What the editors have done, in effect, is set before readers a series of therapeutic tutorials that will develop and fine-tune the practice of experienced and novice clinicians alike.Some family and couples therapists, feeling embarrassed or ignorant, shy away from working with their clients'sexual struggles, and some sex therapists aren? sure what to do with problems that transcend sexual interactions. The contributors to Quickies, sensitive to such concerns, offer therapeutic doorways both into and out of the bedroom. Anyone working with the sexual problems and fears of couples and individuals will benefit from the wit and wisdom on display in these pages.
