K. J. Wilson
Hunter House (CA), 1997
Women are safer at night in the park than in their own homes.
If you get only one book about domestic violence, this should be the one. It is comprehensive, and well-written. As a training specialist, it was one of my main sources for writing a domestic violence prevention training program. Some of the material is a little dated because in most states including mine, women are now allowed to introduce their history of domestic abuse in court where it was ...

Sexual Pleasure: Reaching New Heights of Sexual Arousal & Intimacy7 reviews
Barbara, Ph.D. Keesling
Hunter House (CA), 1993
lots of advice to expand the possibilities of reader's own love lives
Barbara Keesling's sex and relationship book, Sexual Pleasure (2nd ed., 2005), is a great book for both women and men, with lots of practical advice and over one hundred exercises, some specifically for men or for women, many for both. I especially liked her clear expression of the importance and exercising of the PC muscles for men and women. She not only deals nicely with the G-spot orgasm and ...

Easy to understand and informative . . . a must for any woman!
This book clearly and accurately describes the natural changes that a woman's body goes through during her fertility cycle. In language that is easy to understand, the author (who is a nurse) describes each phase and its corresponding symptoms in clear, plain English.
While there is a lot of information, it is a thin book that is easily read in one sitting. I refer to it often and find more ...

Too simplistic
I found this book to be too simplistic. The information is accurate but weak on ways to correct the problem. As a psychologist who treats anxiety and hyperventilation, I guess I was expecting too much. I always hope for some new technique or way of explaining things that will be useful with clients, or even a book I would recommend to clients. About the only thing I found potentially useful ...
