As an expert in counseling and sexual therapy, I make it a point to keep up with the popular literature on these subjects. I have become increasingly disturbed by the published information that I have found in bookstores and on the internet.

I’ve always thought that most of the authors of counseling and sex therapy information would be experts, or at the very least, trained in this field. Imagine my surprise when, looking at authors’ credentials in psychology and sexology books currently in stores, I found the following:

• former public relations executive,
• former columnist for the Penthouse Forum,
• feature writer at a local newspaper,
• editor of a men’s health magazine,
• professional in the communications industry, and
• executive at a documentary sales company!
