Opis

A book is about partnership problems and the difficulties that come with commitment and marriage, this work analyzes the origins of such problems and leads readers along a path from understanding to the possibility of resolution. Dr. Christie-Brown addresses the part played by sexual difficulties, which often arise in long-term relationships but receive little recognition in a society swamped with images of idealized sexuality. The author shows how satisfaction in a partnership depends on understanding both the emotional intricacies of promising to share a life together, and the way these complex issues affect sexual responses, and vice versa. Aimed at the open-minded reader who is prepared to look at their partnership problems in a new light; complex emotional issues are dealt with in an accessible way, making an essential tool for counselors, doctors, social workers, and all those involved in psychotherapy as well.
