Tough Customers: Is It Them or Us?

Tough CustomersBy Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values.

But how does the therapist choose from the seemingly endless array of theories and treatments for sexual dysfunction? Does the couple need to improve their technique or communicate more honestly? Should the therapist delve into their psychosexual development or give them homework assignments? This Reading Course brings together some of the leading figures in the field to demonstrate a range of approaches to sexual difficulties. David Schnarch explores how the ways couples behave in bed offers a remarkably authentic expression of their emotional connection-or lack of it. Richard Schwartz describes the soulful adventure of what he calls "Self-to-Self" sex. Michele Weiner-Davis explains why there's no reason that anyone wanting a more robust sex life can't have one. In the age of Viagra, Barry McCarthy demonstrates non-medicinal ways to help middle-aged couples revitalize their sex life.
