WELLS, John Warren. The Sex Therapists.

(New York, NY): Lancer Books, 1972. First edition. Softcover. (Paperback original). 17.5cm by 10.7cm. 173 pages. Pseudonymously written by Lawrence Block. A contemporary account of the emerging field of sex therapy in the late 1960s and early 1970s, examining the work and methods of leading practitioners associated with the development of modern clinical approaches to sexual dysfunction. Wells surveys therapeutic techniques, case studies, and the broader cultural context of changing attitudes toward sexuality in the post-war period. Published at a time of growing public and medical interest in the subject—following the influential research of figures such as William H. Masters and Virginia E. Johnson—the book reflects both the popularization and professionalization of sex therapy during the era.
