Peer Commentary Sex Therapy Needs Building Not Deconstruction
نویسنده
چکیده
In their attempt to deconstruct sex therapy and bury the remains, Binik and Meana (2009) ask “Will the ‘real’ sex therapist please stand up?” I am not sure about being “real,” but I was a sex therapist for 40 years until my retirement. I have treated many couples and individuals and also trained many therapists in the use of sex therapy. These trainees have come from a range of professional backgrounds, including clinicians, social workers, and marriage guidance counselors. I am aware that the term “sex therapy” is used to describe a variety of approaches, but I will focus on my approach as I “stand up” in this commentary.
