Description
Sex by Prescription: A Challenge to Modern Sex Therapy Thomas Szasz argues that human sexuality reveals and reflects who we are and who we want to be. He contends that there is no need for "sex therapies" to cure perceived sexual disorders, as this approach merely evades the task of developing and shaping our lives. Szasz believes that we escape this responsibility by relying on sex education and therapists to manage our sexual lives. Instead, he advocates for a more honest and self-aware approach to understanding human sexuality. This book presents Szasz's provocative ideas about the nature of human sexuality and its relationship to personal growth and development.
