Rezensionen

"Welcome to the next generation of sex therapy texts! Betchen and Davidson have created an innovative practice model that greatly enhances the quest to integrate sex therapy and couples therapy. MCT is theoretically rich, drawing upon the influences of some of the greatest therapy masters. This text belongs on the desk of every practicing sex/couples therapist."
Daniel N. Watter, EdD, past president, The Society for Sex Therapy and Research (SSTAR)

"Master conflict therapy (MCT) is a fascinating therapeutic approach, which integrates a variety of systemic and psychodynamic methods. The therapist exposes the primary conflict in the individual. This conflict serves to attract partners and keep them engaged, yet it can trap them in a cycle of dissatisfaction. Managing rather than eradicating the master conflict is the objective of treating sexual and relational problems. This intriguing text is a practical guide for therapists of all levels of experience."
Nancy Gambescia, PhD, director, Post-Graduate Sex Therapy Program: Council for Relationships, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Rather than merely focusing on treatment of symptoms of sexual dysfunctions, Betchen and Davidson aim higher and deeper: they have created a psychoanalytically-informed assessment and treatment paradigm for the underlying family of origin dynamics, which create the foundations for couples' sexual difficulties. My compliments to the authors on this exceptional book!"
