Shy bladder Ð the inability to urinate in a public or private bathroom if someone is nearby Ð can create great distress for its millions of sufferers.

Written by a recovered shy bladder sufferer, it offers clear and effective information on understanding, coping with, and recovering from the phobia. Readers will discover _ they are not the only ones in the world who suffer _ how a femaleÕs bathroom experience differs from a male's (and the implications) _ practical suggestions and extensive illustrations that help apply the information and techniques _ updated treatment methods.
This complete handbook offers hope and inspiration to bathroom-challenged women. It is also a valuable resource for a wider audience: men suffering from urination anxiety, supporters of paruretics, and professionals treating those with this debilitating condition.
