As the average life span grows increasingly longer, the need for a closer look at sexuality during the aging process becomes more crucial.

She also describes a therapy program designed to increase sexual satisfaction for elderly couples. Her section on “Special Considerations Critical to Sex Therapy with the Aged” is particularly valuable.
