Dr. Julia Heiman's research seeks to understand the
physiological andemotional dimensions of sexuality and in
developing successful interventions to help people
overcome sexual problems.

Research topics include a wide range of subjects,
including the quality of sexual experience in the wake of
treatment for cancer; sexual risk-taking when under the
influence of alcohol; the impact of childhood sexual
abuse and physical abuse on adult relationships; and sex
therapy for couples when one partner is using Viagra.

A number of Dr. Heiman's recent projects focus on
identifying appropriate treatments for people who are
experiencing sexual difficulty.
