In this fascinating book, Cherry Potter takes readers on her personal and professional quest for insights into sex, relationships and gender differences. Why do we feel what we feel, and do what we do? What is the impact of ‘performance anxiety’ on men, and on society generally? Why are women still faking it? Is ubiquitous online porn turning the clock backwards?
The book delves into the work of Freud, Klein, Bowlby and recent developments in attachment theory for insights into our conscious and unconscious fears and desires, and introduces readers to a range of fascinating clients. These include Jeremy, who was so ashamed of his virginity he was unable to have a relationship; Ellie, who repeatedly fell in love with unobtainable men; Kieran, whose fear of abandonment threatened to wreck his gay relationships; Dulcie, who for years had been unable to face the truth that her husband was having multiple affairs; and Lars, who was addicted to online porn and prostitutes. The book shows how the work between therapist and client is a process of learning together, which is at times painful and deeply moving, but can also reflect a renewed vitality and hope for the future, particularly when it comes to talking about sex.
How Psychotherapy Helps Us Understand Sexual Relationships: Insights from the Consulting Room will be of great interest to both the general reader as well as psychotherapists and counsellors.

De ce simțim ce simțim și de ce facem ce facem? Care e efectul „anxietății de performanță" asupra bărbaților și asupra societății în general? De ce se întâmplă în continuare ca femeile să mimeze orgasmul? Ce le determină pe femei să fie misogine? Omniprezența pornografiei online dă timpul înapoi? Autoarea ne invită să căutăm alături de ea răspunsuri la diferite întrebări legate de sex, gen și relații de cuplu, oferindu-ne atât informații din literatura științifică despre fricile și dorințele noastre inconștiente în relațiile de cuplu, cât și posibilitatea de a întâlni o mulțime de clienți fascinanți. Printre aceștia sunt Jeremy, care era atât de rușinat de faptul că era virgin încât era incapabil să aibă o relație; Ellie, care se tot îndrăgostea de bărbați indisponibili; Kieran, a cărui frică de abandon amenința să-i distrugă relațiile gay; Dulcie, care ani întregi a fost incapabilă să se confrunte cu adevărul că soțul ei avea mai multe aventuri; și Lars, care era dependent de pornografia online și de prostituate. Cartea arată modul în care travaliul terapeutului și clientului este un proces în care amândoi învață despre relații, un proces uneori dureros și profund mișcător, dar care poate reflecta și o nouă vitalitate și speranță în privința viitorului.
