The Pause (Revised Edition)

The Landmark Guide

Since its original publication in 1993, The Pause has become known as the authoritative guide to menopause--a previously overlooked topic of great importance to women. The significant amount of new research on menopause and perimenopause amassed in recent years has led bestselling author Lonnie Barbach to completely revise and update this groundbreaking classic. Important additions include eight entirely new sections on topics such as SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators), phytoestrogens, and the impact of menopause on the female immune system. This additional research is combined with new information about menopause and mood, weight gain during menopausal transition, breast cancer survivors taking estrogen, the positive effect of estrogen on dementia and Alzheimer's, and new alternatives to traditional HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for managing hot flashes, improving bone density, and assisting breast cancer survivors. All together, the latest edition of The Pause is a must-have resource for any woman facing the "next third" of her life.
Dr. Lonnie Barbach received her M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical social psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. She is currently in private practice in Mill Valley and San Francisco, California, and is the director of content for The Happy Couple Mobile Game App. Among her bestselling books on sex and relationships are For Yourself, Pleasures, The Pause, Seductions, The Erotic Edge, Erotic Interludes, and Going the Distance, which was co-authored with her partner, David Geisinger, Ph.D.  View titles by Lonnie Barbach
