DESCRIPTION:
Fascinating and informative-- E. Williams I read the first edition of this book in the mid 1980s, and when I loaned it to a therapist, she asked if she could loan it to a client. It is straight forward, no jargon, and gets right to the center of all kinds of sexual behavior. This is a sane, fun, and enlightening book. I'm now recommending it to a friend who is having marital problems. I'm glad its back in print and it ought to be on the best-seller's list!. Wise and beautiful Aquilonian Avodah K Offit is clearly a very experienced and knowledgable therapist, but more than that- she is a wise and kindly woman, who has absorbed all that science and theory can teach her, then moved beyond the theory to the complex, unpredictable reality. She wears her expertise lightly, coming over as an eminently practical therapist who sees her job- even when dealing with very taboo areas- as healing, not judging. There's a picture of her on the fly leaf of this original hardback edition. She looks like a happy woman- I hope she is, for I'm sure she's helped a lot of other people to find happiness in their own . Informative This book is great because it is a candid view of sexual issues from the perspective of an experienced sex therapist. Although Dr. Offit writes in detail, Night Thoughts does not read as a clinical text. I am in graduate school studying to be a sex therapist, thus am always looking for well developed theory on sexual issues. Dr. Offit's book offers her honest prose on different aspects of the sexual relationship. Further, she relates specific sexual issues to possible relationship issues she finds typically in accompaniment. Highly recommended!Jflae
