"In Sexual Anorexia: Overcoming Sexual Self-Hatred, Patrick Carnes
explores more of the continuum of human sexual dysfunction. With
all the moral injunctions about sex that most of us received during
childhood, it is difficult to see a lack of, or even revulsion of,
sexual desire as a serious problem. In comparing these areas of
difficulty with the anorexic and bulimic eating disorders, Carnes
masterfully presents an easily understood structure of the disease
process and a recovery regime that offers real hope for comfort in
relationships."
--Pia Mellody, RN, addictions and codependence consultant, author
of Facing Codependence, Breaking Free, and Facing Love
Addiction
"A valuable resource for men and women who have been afraid and
confused about sex. Patrick Carnes has made another remarkable
contribution that fosters sexual recovery and sexual healing. Using
his trademark blend of wisdom, practical strategies, and personal
stories, Carnes takes readers through a step-by-step program to
discover the meaning and joys of healthy sexual intimacy."
--Wendy Maltz, MSW, sex therapist, author of The Sexual Healing
Journey and co-author of In the Garden of Desire
