The focus on this book is on helping practitioners recognize andrespond appropriately to psychosexual anxiety and distress. Recentresearch suggests that the sexual concerns of patients still gounaddressed and that communication with patients about sexualissues is generally inadequate. Psychosexual anxiety and distressoccur as the consequence of changes or threats to the sexualaspects of an individual?s self-confidence. Such changes may occuras the consequence of illness, disability, ageing, altered sexualfunction, relationship difficulties, loss and other psychosocialevents. Sexual distress and anxieties that go unrecognized may leadto sexual and interpersonal problems which in turn create furtheranxiety or distress. As a consequence, a vicious circle of alteredsexual self-concept, psychosexual anxiety and distress, andalterations in sexual response and satisfacction, can becomequickly established. This book gives a thorough grounding in theprinciples of the care of patients with psychosexual problem.Psychosexual anxiety and distress ? Professional issues inpsychosexual care ?
