Sexuality and Sex Therapy: A Comprehensive Christian Appraisal, 2nd ed. (Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books | CAPS)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
A Comprehensive Survey of Human Sexuality from a Christian Perspective
The field of human sexuality is one of ever-increasing complexity, particularly for Christian therapists and psychologists seeking to be faithful to Scripture, informed by science, and sensitive to culture. In Sexuality and Sex Therapy, Mark Yarhouse and Erica Tan offer a survey and appraisal of this field from a Christian perspective, grounding sex therapy in the biblical affirmation of physicality and the redemptive purposes of human life.
This second edition
Not only have Yarhouse and Tan written a standard resource for Christian therapists and counselors, but they also challenge the church to talk more honestly and openly about the blessing of human sexuality.

Yarhouse and Tan’s second edition of Sexuality and Sex Therapy is a must-read for clinicians and students alike. Their Christian and theological approach provides a strong foundation and lens for practical application. Each of the sexual disorders are thoroughly introduced with practical insight and tools for practice. This is a foundational text for both counselors and ministers, especially for those that have not received professional training, as they work with these personal and sensitive issues. I highly recommend this book as required reading for students, new counselors, and ministers.

This book delivers clarity in a comprehensive manner, the key to a great textbook. The authors again provide both students and practitioners alike a great survey of the topics that affect the sex therapy field and the field itself from a Christian perspective.

With culturally relevant and compassionate consideration of humanity’s current social, spiritual, and political state, Yarhouse and Tan bring a fresh perspective and updated research on sexual dysfunctions, disorders, treatment, and other clinical considerations from a fundamental Christian worldview. This text offers a comprehensive understanding of human sexuality and encourages curiosity and dialogue around the theological and scriptural integration of redemption and transformation from sexual brokenness to intimacy with Christ and others.
