I am teaching a 12 week course in SEXUAL COUNSEILLING SKILLS to psychology students who have just completed a basic counseling #101 course. Last year I used Sandra Lieblum's excellent text book, naturally, as
recommended text book - it was way too advanced for this group of students.
I appreciate any recommendations of a holistic evidence based text book that will be useful for my students.
With thanks in anticipation.

I have been a member of ISSWSH for many years but am just starting to set up a practice to focus on sexual medicine. Would any members be willing to share the advertising and notices that you have used that have helped you market your practice? If so, much appreciated and please reply to me directly at oc440@bellsouth.net.

Subject: An invitation to join the New View Campaign Listserv:
The New View Campaign, http://fsd-alert.org/, begun in 2000, exists to analyze and challenge the medicalization of women's sexuality. We are a diverse network of feminist activists, academics, writers and healthcare providers. The Campaign has published books and articles, provided resources for journalists, testified at the FDA and held conferences. All of this is described on the pages of our website, http://fsd-alert.org/.
After our second conference, this past July, we began a listserv. It now numbers over 100 members, and we are recruiting new participants. Please see http://fsd-alert.org/listserve.html for more information.
The purpose of the listserv is to promote communication around sexuality policy, politics, problems, education and research, all from a critical feminist perspective. As expected, topics on the listserv vary widely. There have been several posts each week.
Because the listserv is part of the New View Campaign, those who join it are asked to state their agreement with the basic principles of the Campaign. You can read the New View Manifesto on: http://fsd-alert.org/manifesto.html
If you are interested in joining the listserv, please send a message with your name and email address to LeLaina Romero, the New View Campaign Assistant, at LeLaina1978@yahoo.com. You will be asked to agree to the listserv guidelines before being added.

Women’s Health CME/CE Now on Ipod and MP3
Imagine being able to take your CME/CE to the beach, on a walk, or just to your favorite chair in the house. Now you can! The Alexander Foundation for Women’s Health is one of the first CME/CE providers with downloadable ipod and mp3 programs, as well as streaming video for these same programs. The busy clinician can now learn and de-stress at the same time! Later, at your convenience, the CME/CE test can be taken at the website by downloading the Alexander player, automatically producing a CME/CE certificate with a passing score. This first series of free CME/CE streaming videos and downloadable ipod and/or mp3 lectures for the foundation have focused on sexual function, quality of life, and menopause. The foundation’s guideline for the treatment of the symptomatic menopausal woman as well as an additional video on approaches to measuring depression in the clinical setting along with treatment options to achieve remission will be available in October at the Alexander Foundation website.
