When The Guilford Press approached us to edit a new edition of Principles and Practice of Sex Therapy (PPST) only 6 years after the publication of the fifth edition, our first reaction was “no way.” We did not think there was enough new material, and we did not want to rehash old stuff even if the book would sell. The first five editions of PPST had had an average publication gap of 9 years between them and, in our view, this seemed to be about the right interval given the rate of progress in the field of sex therapy. Despite our protestations, Jim Nageotte, Guilford’s wonderful Senior Editor, kindly told us to take a deep breath, consider carefully what was new, and sleep on it.
