Bathrooms Make Me Nervous: A Guidebook for Women with Urination Anxiety (Shy Bladder)  is unique because, on one hand, it is the first book to explore the condition of paruresis from a woman's point of view.

Yet, on the other hand, its contents have universal appeal - because both females and males exhibit many of the same characteristics when it comes to paruresis.

Bathrooms offers strategies for coping as well as detailed exposure-based protocols for full recovery. Anyone can benefit from reading the book: sufferers, clinicians, and support people.
