Woods, Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy ""This excellent resource will quickly become a solid favourite among trainers. Its easily accessible style, comprehensive coverage of sexuality issues, and range of practical exercises designed to foster self-reflection and awareness will make it a resource to which professionals turn with remarkable regularity."" - Hannah Frith, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Brighton, UK ""Sex is everywhere - the media, advertising and the internet... It may be everywhere, but sex and sexuality are rarely discussed in such a useful way. With its copious references, resource dictionary and case exercises, this book deserves to become a well-used resource for trainees, experienced practitioners and trainers alike."" - Rosalind Hewitt, Therapy Today, May 2010 ""If you, as a trainer or trainee, are looking for a resource that will provide you with practical knowledg, awareness and understanding of sex and sexuality in today's world, steer you in the direction of more indepth reading, provoke and challenge your own personal values around sex and sexuality, this book will not disappoint!"" - Laura McAuley & Roshan das Nair, Psychology of Sexualities Review, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2010"
