Summary

Sensate Focus in Sex Therapy: The Illustrated Manual is an illustrated manual that provides health professionals with specific information on the use of the structured touching opportunities used regularly by Sexologists to address their clients' sexual difficulties (Sensate Focus 1) and enhance intimate relationships (Sensate Focus 2)。 This book is the only one to: vividly describe and illustrate the specific steps of, activities involved in, and positions associated with Sensate Focus; emphasize the purpose of Sensate Focus as a mindfulness-based practice; and distinguish between the purposes of Sensate Focus 1 and Sensate Focus 2。



Through the use of artful drawings and descriptive text, this manual engages mental health and medical professionals and their clients by appealing to both the visual and the analytical。 It discusses how modifications to Sensate Focus can be applied to diverse populations, such as LGBTQ clients, the elderly, the disabled, trauma survivors, and those with challenges such as Autism Spectrum, anxiety, and depression。 The book also offers suggestions for dealing with common client difficulties such as avoidance, confusion, and goal directed attitudes。 This comprehensive approach to Sensate Focus will remind readers of the beauty and power of touch while offering suggestions for moving from avoidance to sensory transcendence。

This Illustrated Manual dissects the problems clients or every day individuals who don’t seek therapy have within the bedroom, whether it’s with a long term partner, or just in individual instances with themselves or different short term partners。 Not many people want to publicly share that they may have problems in this area。 However, the first step to fixing something is realizing that it needs to be fixed。 The Manual was very scientific and broke down the different types of sexual disorders o This Illustrated Manual dissects the problems clients or every day individuals who don’t seek therapy have within the bedroom, whether it’s with a long term partner, or just in individual instances with themselves or different short term partners。 Not many people want to publicly share that they may have problems in this area。 However, the first step to fixing something is realizing that it needs to be fixed。 The Manual was very scientific and broke down the different types of sexual disorders one may encounter when experiencing sexual dysfunction。 It thoroughly covers Sensate Focus 1, which addresses practices one can take to alleviate dysfunction in both males and females。 It briefly touches upon Sensate Focus 2, which encourages touching techniques to build interpersonal connections between partners。 The integration of appendixes, identification, proposed practices, and problems that may arise within therapy gives the manual a whole-body approach。 The literature was interesting at times, but also could be dry。 I encourage anyone who may be experiencing sexual difficulties with performance or knows anyone who does give this publication a read。3。4/5 。。。more
