In her review, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Talli Y. Rosenbaum, describes The Sexual Healing Journey as “comprehensive and easy to read” and shares that it is written in a manner that speaks directly to patients as well as clinicians. Talli goes on to point out that the book is “written with such warmth and understanding that the value of the empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic alliance is healing to the reader. Wendy Maltz….guides her readers through the process of understanding what has been lost, grieving it, reclaiming it and establishing a new reality.” Talli concludes by saying that she finds the therapeutic approach in The Sexual Healing Journey to be “validating and relevant to many couples seeking sex therapy.”
