This work by Helen S. Kaplan addresses one of the most frequent and complicated issues in couples: the absence of sexual desire. The author explains the causes behind this problem, such as fear of intimacy, depression, and sexual phobias, and demonstrates how these disorders hinder communication. The book includes twenty-six case studies and effective therapeutic techniques to resolve these issues.
Helen Singer Kaplan was an Austrian-American sex therapist and the founder of the first clinic in the United States for sexual disorders established at a medical school. The New York Times described Kaplan as someone who was "considered a leader among scientific-oriented sex therapists. She was noted for her efforts to combine some of the insights and techniques of psychoanalysis with behavioral methods." She was also dubbed the "Sex Queen" because of her role as a pioneer in sex therapy during the sexual revolution in 1960s America, and because of her advocacy of the idea that people should enjoy sexual activity as much as possible, as opposed to seeing it as something dirty or harmful. The main purpose of her dissertation is to evaluate the psychosexual dysfunctions because these syndromes are among the most prevalent, worrying and distressing medical complaints of modern times.
