ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in this book. The book begins by suggesting that health professionals know a lot more about sex than they did half a century ago when Masters and Johnson began publishing their groundbreaking work on sexual functioning and sex therapy. It stimulates a rebirth of interest in and appreciation for sex therapy in general and Sensate Focus in particular. Sexuality is the great mystery of our being, sensuality the first cog in our machinery. Sensuality and sexuality constitute the essence of music, of painting, and of all the arts. The book shows that health professionals have been able to shine the spotlight back onto the whole field of sexual healing that includes not just what physicians, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists are doing but also what psychologists, social workers, educators, relationship therapists, sociologists, spiritual leaders, and stress management counselors have to offer.
