The Couple's Disease : Finding a Cure for Your 'Lost' Love Life

Rating:
Summary: Really helpful book for all couples
Review: Hopefully my husband will take the hint and read this. The "waiting room" stories are great. Some really hit home for me. Dr. Hakim presents sexual problems and gives real solutions for overcoming them. Sex should be great between married couples, and communication is the key. (Although not the kind of thing we talk about so openly in St. Louis!)

If I was in Florida, I'd try to set up an appointment to see Dr. Hakim - and i'd drag my husband with me.

Don't be afraid to buy this book - it will help!

Summary: Best book on the subject for patients
Review: I got an advanced copy to read, and there is no question that this is the definitive guide for couples about sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction. It is accessible and easy to read but also comprehensive. I am recommending it to all my patients with this problem.

Summary: Move Over Dr. Phil...
Review: Move over Dr. Phil - A get-real book that covers the emotional and clinical aspects of male AND female sexual dysfuntion, how it affects your relationship and how to cure it. The book is so specific about problems and solutions and is enjoyable to read. I've never read a book as helpful as this one. Even though it's a "couple's" book, I think it's a must for all men and women whether you're in a relationship or not. Just as important, it should be REQUIRED reading for doctors....

Summary: You HAVE to READ this Book!
Review: My husband and I have been married for more than 20 years and I have read a number of books on the topic of sexual health, but this is by far THE BEST I've seen!! It is enjoyable to read, extremely comprehensive and easy to understand. We particularly enjoyed the 'patient vignettes' that take us into the Doctor's Waiting Room. Most importantly, the book emphasizes women's sexual function as the critical element in improving sexual intimacy for the COUPLE. The authors make it very clear that there are effective treatments out there for all of us! I highly recommend this book!

Summary: The love is back!
Review: This book is great for anyone who wants to restore their lost love life. My husband and I were desperately searching for reasons as to why the passion had fizzled between us. Now, thanks to Dr. Hakim's book, we have put the fire back into our relationship. This book is a definate must read!

Summary: Men should buy this book
Review: This isn't the kind of book I would normally buy, but it was recommended by a friend of mine. I can honestly say that after reading it, my wife and I are on the way to solving the biggest problem in our marriage: our sex life. What was mundane, or a chore, is now something we both look forward to with an excuberance we haven't had since our honeymoon! (And after 10 years of marriage, that says a lot!) Dr. Hakim offers excellent advice for anyone who has "lost that lovin feeling" and wants to get it back.

Besides the "clinical" there are great "real life" examples as well that really hit home.

Really helpful!

Summary: A helpful and pragmatic look at sexual dysfunction
Review: Written by Lawrence S. Hakim (Head of the Section of Sexual Dysfunction, Male Infertility, and Prosthetics at the Cleveland Clinic, Florida) with the assistance of Donald Michael Platt, The Couple's Disease: Finding A Cure For Your "Lost" Love Life is a helpful and pragmatic look at sexual dysfunction (a problem that afflicts more women than men), and how to go about sustaining or restoring lost love lives for couples in married, long-term, or same-sex relationships. The thoughtful, reader-friendly, informed and informative text by an articulate and knowledgeable physician who is well experienced in treating sexual dysfunction make The Couple's Disease an excellent resource for both professional reference collections and the non-specialist general reader with an interest in an often sensitive and intimately personal subject.
