This book is a sterling addition to the growing movement within sex therapy toward integrative relational practice. Maxwald demonstrates a deep appreciation of both conscious and unconscious sources of desire, arousal and erotic connection. Her cases come alive as she deftly describes common challenges that lead, under her wise guidance, to pathways of transformation. Clearly written, she makes psychodynamic sex therapy not only accessible but compelling. A must read for psychoanalysts who want to better understand sexuality and sex therapists who want to understand the psychodynamics of sexuality.
