商品簡介
Written in a first-person, narrative style, In the Grip of Desire gives both the professional and lay reader the rare opportunity to experience the sequestered world of the therapist as she works with people who have sexual secrets and behaviors.
Referencing the academic literature and research, using rich case material, and a broad use of literary references, the book unpretentiously demonstrates the basic concepts and issues in treating compelling and legal sexual behaviors.
The book also offers a uniquely jargon-free, human view of the subject. Golden compassionately and non-judgmentally speaks to the universality of the experience of sexual obsessions and compelling sexual behaviors and their impact on relationships, families, and society.
