Prepared by one of the world's leading authorities, Human Sexuality and its Problems remains the foremost comprehensive reference in the field. Now available in a larger format, this classic volume continues to address the neurophysiological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects of human sexuality and how they interact.

Fully updated throughout, the new edition places a greater emphasis on theory and its role in sex research and draws on the latest global research to review the clinical management of problematic sexuality providing clear, practical guidelines for clinical intervention.

Clearly written, this highly accessible volume now includes a new chapter on the role of theory, and separate chapters on sexual differentiation and gender identity development, transgender and gender non-conformity, and HIV, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Human Sexuality and its Problems fills a gap in the literature for academics interested in human sexuality from an interdisciplinary perspective, as well as health professionals involved in the management of sexual problems.

Industry Reviews

From the judges' comments in awarding this book (joint) mention of "exceptional merit" in the Society for Sexual Therapy and Research Professional Book Awards 2010: This is an extraordinarily complete and thorough coverage of our area, from both the research and clinical viewpoints. The book is elegantly written with loving and rigorous attention to empirical data. Chapter 2, on the role of theory, is an important contribution and should be required reading for all sex therapists. There is an abundance of material on physiology, population studies and cross-cultural findings. Bancroft has done a remarkable work of reviewing the last several years of research in sexology, proposes resolutions of conflicting results, and offers guides for therapy from research findings.
