Couples and Sex provides both a practical introduction to, and theoretical understanding of, couples dynamics and psychosexual concepts. It offers accessible and pragmatic information, using case studies throughout, and gives an increased awareness of the issues and processes relating to working with couples, both in the dynamics of what goes on between them and in the mechanics of their sexual relationship. Therapists, psychotherapists, their supervisors, and health professionals working in all settings who work with counsellors or psychotherapists, will find this essential reading.

"Martin-Sperry's book 'Couples and Sex' is a comprehensive, clear and readable explanation of the factors that couples confront when they have sexual difficulty. I recommend this book to both experienced and new therapists, and to all clinicians who want to know more about the crucial role of sex in couple relationships." From the Introduction by David Scharff MD, Director of The International Institute of Object Relations Therapy, Chevy Chase, Maryland.
"This book considers sex in the context of adult couple relationships. It invites us to consider the nature of committed relationships and some of the life course issues that can affect the manner in which they develop. Taking a multi-discipline approach, the chapters provide important information about human sexual functioning, suggest approaches to helping couples with sexual problems and provide copious illustrations to bring it all to life. This book will provide valuable information that will help readers think about what is involved, assess how far to go with couples presenting with sexual and relationship problems and equip them to make a sensitive referral if specialist help is needed." From the Foreword by Christopher Clulow, Director of The Tavistock Marital Studies Institute, London
