The perfect combination of clinical experience and academic expertise, Westheimer and Lopater's Human Sexuality goes beyond traditional introductory sexuality resources by delivering all the classic content in a unique psychosocial context. Dr. Ruth's renowned experience as sex therapist and her appealing, reassuring nature make this an invaluable lifelong reference as well as an engaging textbook. New and revised content reflects important developments in topics such as gender, sexual identity, self-concept, and the psychosocial environment; sexual arousal and responsiveness; fertility and infertility; contraception; and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
