The text comprehensively discusses the evaluation and management of physical, genetic, and psychological causes of male and female sexual dysfunction.

The book highlights erectile, ejaculatory, and orgasmic disorders in the male; desire, arousal and orgasmic disorders in the female; and an integrated approach to the couple.
