Integrative Sex & Couples Therapy: A Therapist's Guide to New and Innovative Approaches

Thorough and valuable book on integrating sex therapy and couples therapy for therapists and lay people like. I particularly liked Deborah Fox‘s article on sexuality and the nervous system, and the Nutri Sexual Health model by Janet Brito that takes into account the impact of nutrition on energy and desire. Tammy Nelson’s got her finger on the pulse of the latest in sexuality & couples work. Highly recommended!

Relationship expert Tammy Nelson has done it again. Her latest book is a compilation of theories on treating sexual problems in couples. Each chapter, written by experts in their respective orientations, offers a rich understanding of sexual difficulties and treatment solutions. Therapists will be able to find ways of helping individuals and couples from an orientation they are already familiar with or from a perspective they might not have considered.I love this book and wish I had access to it earlier in my career as a sex therapist. I highly recommend it.Pamela Pressman,, LPC, Certified AASECT Therapist

Whether working with individuals or couples this text is a must read for all clinicians. Many clinicians refer out for sex therapy, but this book provides wonderful resources that will help all clinicians feel better prepared to address sex, sexuality and pleasure with clients. I loved the various theoretical approaches and the interventions provided. Tammy Nelson is a gift to our field, she is a pioneer in the work of understanding couple sexuality and ethical non-monogamy. I recommend every one of her books. This book allowed me to begin to practice what I was learning as I was moving through the book. This is definitely a must read for all clinicians!

The book provides easy to read chapters, each covering a different theoretical approach to treating a range of problems that arise in sex therapy. Great for novices and advanced practitioners.

Very knowledgeable authors. Helpful information for my clients.
