A comprehensive introduction to modern sex therapy Easy to read and
navigate In line with COSRT accredited courses
Contemporary Sex Therapy explores modern sexuality, its expression
and problems, and some of the uniquely twenty-first century issues
facing sex therapists and society as a whole. Seeking solutions to
these and other common sexual and relationship problems, the book
provides a practical, sensitive and modern approach, which tackles
the complexities of contemporary relationships, identity, love and
sex. A comprehensive, stepped approach to psychosexual therapy is
offered, demonstrating how to tackle blocks to sex and intimacy as
well as providing an understanding of how and why they develop.
Loss of desire, sexual pain and erectile and orgasm difficulties
are seen within the context of modern life and relationship
dynamics, so that comprehensive and realistic solutions are more
readily enabled. The book looks at significant issues such as
sexual consent, sexual and gender identity, sexual trauma and
culture, as well as the more recent challenges of porn-related
sexual dependency, chemsex, female genital cutting and technology.
Throughout, the emphasis is on recognising and meeting the specific
obstacles and needs of a wide diversity of relationships and
experiences, providing a vast toolbox to appropriately address
contemporary sexual issues. Established sex therapists, as well as
students, will benefit from the book's modern approach which
focuses on each partner's experience, avoiding outcome and response
anxiety entirely and appreciating the range of pressures
experienced by modern couples. Relationship therapists and couples
themselves will also be motivated by new ideas and explanations,
which often challenge existing intuitive understanding to produce
nuanced and effective solutions to improve sex and intimacy.

Sex and intimacy are what make couple relationships special and
different. We may even measure the quality of the relationship by
how intimate we feel or how good the sex is. This can be
wonderfully reassuring when it goes well, but we all have times in
our lives and relationships when we don't feel so close. When sex
isn't working well or isn't happening, confidence in the
relationship can ebb away too. Yet there is plenty you can do to
turn things around and recapture the fading intimacy. In The Relate
Guide to Sex and Intimacy, Cate Campbell takes a realistic look at
modern relationships, steering you through practical exercises,
examples, quizzes and talking points to help give your sexual self
and your relationship an intimacy makeover. Comprehensively
tackling the issues that challenge sex and intimacy, this book will
both equip you to understand and manage problems when they arise
and to make a good sex life even better.

A nation called the Alliance rises out of the destruction of a
massive asteroid impact. As disease decimates the world's
survivors, the Alliance gains strength due to its mandatory organ
donor system. This System forces the lower caste, "donors," to give
up their organs to Alliance citizens-even to the point of death.
Seventeen-year-old Joan, a gifted athlete, is the personal donor of
the absolute elite of the elite, the pampered daughter of the
ruling Governor. She has been ingrained by the harsh rules of the
System her whole life, following the System willingly-yet she still
harbors one last glimmer of inner freedom and the hope, that
somehow, someway she can fulfill her romantic feelings for a young
citizen named Duncan. But the rules of the System forbid any
relationships of this kind. Whatever dreams Joan may have come to a
crashing halt when she learns her next donation will be her last.
The Governor's daughter wants the foremost cause of Joan's superior
athleticism: her heart. No pleas or bargains can be made. Alone,
Joan must flee and become one of the hunted, a small and as far as
she knows completely dead minority. In a fight for her life, she
must evade capture by a ruthless security force and find safety
outside the nation's walls. This distant horizon is a complete
unknown, spoken about only in whispers. The trials of facing these
dangers not only awaken her long suppressed sense of self, but they
provoke even greater challenges, for she is devastated to learn
Duncan is one of those hunting her. For Joan, physical trials are
second nature and if anyone can escape and survive outside the
nation's walls, she can. But can she leave her family, her hope for
love and her fellow donors behind?
Though born into one of Seattle's most prestigious families, Margot
Benedict has fought to claim all the independence offered to young
women in 1923. Where her brother Preston embraced a life of
debauchery, Margot has a thriving medical practice. Working at a
local orphanage, she's shocked to see a young boy who looks every
inch a Benedict. But though she's convinced this is the
illegitimate child Preston once mentioned, Margot has no way to
prove any family connection. At sixteen, Bronwyn Morgan fell in
love with dashing Preston Benedict. Seduced and abandoned, she's
arrived at Benedict Hall determined to find the son she was forced
to give away. Aging matriarch Edith takes the fragile girl under
her wing, but Edith's own delicate state and Preston's dangerous
animosity collide, jeopardizing not only a child's future, but the
Benedict legacy itself.

For generations, the Benedicts have been one of Seattle's most
distinguished families, residing in the splendid Queen Anne mansion
known as Benedict Hall amid a host of loyal servants. But the dawn
of the 1920s and the aftermath of the Great War have brought
dramatic social conflict. Never has this been more apparent than
when daughter Margot's thoroughly modern young cousin, Allison,
comes to stay. But Margot is also shocking many of Seattle's
genteel citizens, and her engineer beau, by advocating birth
control in her medical practice. For amid a tangle of blackmail,
manipulation, and old enmities, the Benedicts stand to lose more
than money - they may forfeit the very position and reputation that
is their only tether to a rapidly changing world.
