Sexual Grounding Therapy

This important book explores the history of sexuality and the breadth of support available to people experiencing sex and relationship challenges, presenting a model of psychosexual therapy that's contextualized in the past, present and future and examined within a developmental and relational framework.

"The title of this book says it all as individuals, and as a society, there is an urgent need to become grounded in our sexual understanding and expression for the overall health of humanity. Extremely well written and researched, Sexual Grounding Therapy is avaluable resource, especially for therapists and professionals working on the subject of sexuality and its expression in relationships. It clearly establishes the significance of addressing sex in a grounded and direct way." Diana Richardson, author of several books on sex, including the best-seller, The Heart of Tantric Sex
