In The Grip of Desire: A Therapist at Work with Sexual Secrets. New York: Routledge.
Written in a first-person, narrative style, In the Grip of Desire gives both the professional and lay reader the rare opportunity to experience the sequestered world of the therapist as she works with people who have sexual secrets and behaviors.
In the Grip of Desire attempts to follow, as closely as possible, the process of therapy as it unfolds. With a non-prescriptive approach, the book addresses the essential and unique components of working with secret and compelling sexual behaviors. It discusses, for example, working through denial, the process and content of taking a history of sexual habits, making an accurate assessment, and explaining contemporary treatment options and strategies. It also concisely and powerfully captures the essence of what it is like to be a person who is experiencing becoming transparent and working through their issues with compelling sexual behaviors.
In addition the book is enriched with a discussion of the historical antecedents of post-modern sexual mores and the impact of the Internet on sexual behavior. It includes a cogent discussion of the historical view of women's sexual behavior and the current experience of women with sexual secrets and behaviors. In the Grip of Desire demystifies the process of therapy for sexual issues.
Gale Holtz Golden is a social worker and psychotherapist in private practice and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at University of Vermont Medical College where she lectures and consults.

Coping with Erectile Dysfunction: How to Regain Confidence & Enjoy Great Sex. New Harbinger Publications. ISBN 1572243864
Continuing the momentum of their revolutionary book, Coping with Premature Ejaculation, Michael Metz and Barry McCarthy, two of the nation's most respected sex therapists, bring you the only complete self-help resource on the market for men dealing with erectile dysfunction. Not only is this book the first to address this problem using the most current research into male sexuality, but it is the first to propose a treatment approach that unites medical, psychological, and relationship-enhancing techniques into a cooperative process that couples can work through together.
The book begins with an uncomplicated explanation of ED and a discussion of the mythologies that surround much of male sexuality. After describing the integrated treatment approach, the book helps men develop a set of realistic sexual expectations for each phase of their lives and explores the role of their partners in resolving ED problems. Exercises help men assess the nature of their problems. The results of the assessments lead readers to explore medical, psychological, and couples-related interventions. The book closes with a detailed program for relapse prevention. Ultimately, the Metz-McCarthy approach encourages couples to explore their own sexual intimacy as a means of overcoming the problem.

Fast Facts - Sexual Dysfunction. Lewisvill, TX: Health Press.
ISBN: 1-903734-45-2
Many factors, psychosocial and organic, may contribute to sexual dysfunction: an illness or disability, medication or a surgical procedure, aging, relationship difficulties, previous experiences, performance anxiety... Faced with such a complex topic, and one about which many people feel uneasy, healthcare professionals may not feel confident in pursuing the subject with their patients. However, a sensitive, prepared clinician can facilitate real progress, often with a surprisingly brief intervention of the right kind.
Fast Facts - Sexual Dysfunction provides a well-rounded overview of sexual dysfunction, its evaluation and its treatment in both men and women. The book's many strengths include a practical approach to communicating with patients and diagnosing their problems, checklists acting as at-a-glance reminders for clinicians, and a list of further resources for both clinicians and patients. A team of experts working in close cooperation combined the disciplines of mental health therapy, gynecology and urology to produce this book with the aim of giving primary care providers the information they need to extend their own knowledge, skill and comfort in dealing with sexual dysfunction, and the ability to recognize when to refer.

- Introduction
- Addressing sexual issues in the clinical setting

Segraves, R.T., Balon, R. (2003).
Sexual Pharmacology: Fast Facts. New York: W. W. Norton & Company.
Sexual side effects of pharmacological agents are often an unspoken cause of treatment noncompliance. Controlled studies in the United States, UK, and Spain have consistently found that approximately 75% of patients who experience sexual side effects from prescribed medication will not volunteer this information without direct questioning.
Nonetheless, many clinicians do not have easy access to reliable information concerning sexual side effects of pharmacological agents. This handy reference provides up-to-date, rapid access to the latest available data concerning sexual side effects of various pharmacological agents for psychiatrists and physicians.
Initial chapters are devoted to a brief review of the physiology of sexual function, the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the general population, and how to identify drug-induced sexual dysfunction. Following the initial overview chapters, subsequent chapters are grouped by classes of drugs, allowing clinicians and physicians rapid access to clinically relevant information. Separate chapters are devoted to data concerning sexual side effects of antidepressants, antianxiety drugs, antipsychotic agents, antihypertensives, urological agents, cardiovascular drugs, and other classes of drugs. The chapters focus on common sexual side effects that may be unspoken causes of treatment noncompliance such as inability to ejaculate, anorgasmia, difficulty in reaching orgasm, erectile dysfunction, and lubrication failure. Final chapters are devoted to pharmacological treatment of sexual disorders.
