Description

The Sexual Alarm System: Women's Unwanted Response to Sexual Intimacy and How to Overcome It by Judith Leavitt explores the shield that develops around many women's bodies to protect them from real and perceived sexual intrusions and dangers. Because the Sexual Alarm System interferes with a woman's ability to be sexual, this book presents specific body exercises for therapists to give to women to work through this Alarm and to develop the ability to enjoy their sexuality.
