Synopsis

In this stunning new work, Tony Schneider, a practising clinical psychologist for over 30 years, outlines a new model of psychological drives around sexual behaviour. He describes a dual biological and subjective, multiple-drive profile, that energises and directs individual sexual behaviour. The book takes a middle path between the determinist thinking that frequently underpins scientific psychological research, and the psychodynamic theory often used by clinicians.
