- Book Synopsis
- Neuroscience has uncovered fascinating insights into the brain processes involved in human drives and sexual behaviour, and romantic relationships are now a particular focus of attention. With advanced imaging techniques and hormone testing methods, neurotransmitters and brain regions in humans can now be investigated. This allows researchers to describe the complex neural patterns that enable us to feel desire, exhilaration, and commitment to a partner. Sex in the Brain provides insights into how the brain impacts on sexual behaviour on every level. Each chapter describes the empirical studies that are particularly relevant, while the summaries and case examples that end each chapter give clear suggestions on how neurobiological knowledge can become a valuable part of therapeutic methods. This book is ideal for therapists unsure how to raise the subject of sex in the consulting room and for those already experienced in working with sexual issues. It is also ideal for anyone keen to learn more about their own responses and interactions with a partner, and includes a helpful glossary.
- About The Author
- Janice Hiller is a consultant clinical psychologist who worked in the NHS in adult mental health initially, before specialising in sexology. She set up and ran the Relationship and Psychosexual Service in North-East London, and then joined Tavistock Relationships as senior academic tutor in psychosexual studies until 2017. Janice has taught on doctoral degree and training courses, presented at many conferences in the UK and abroad, and has published on a range of topics. These include sexual arousal and desire, pain disorders, biopsychosocial factors in sexual development, and neurobiological aspects of sexual responding. She was joint editor and contributor to Sex, Mind, and Emotion (Hiller, Wood, &; Bolton, 2006), and co-wrote a chapter for the European-wide Syllabus of Clinical Sexology. Janice has a private practice in North London and is especially interested in the relevance of neuroscience in understanding sexual behaviour.
