Couples therapists often specialize in one or the other--sex or the relationship. It's a ridiculous separation says marital and sex therapist David Schnarch, who believes sex is the all-telling barometer of a love relationship. Schnarch's fundamental lesson is differentiation--the often threatening process of defining yourself as separate from your partner, which inevitably draws you closer to your partner than you ever dreamed possible. Schnarch uses dramatic therapy sessions to illustrate how differentiation doesn't just cure sexual dysfunction; it helps couples reach the mind-blowing heights of their sexual potential. A groundbreaking and truly erotic discussion of adult sexuality.

The message of the book is very good, however, it took great consentration on my part to read it. The author could have greatly simplified his verbiage to get his ideas across. Like in the movie, "A River Runs Through It"; the dad is teaching his son to write. His son comes to him with his written story several times. Each time, his father says, "Good. Now use HALF as many words." I wish I could say it changed my life, but at least it opened the door to new understanding. My advice is: Go to the ... Read More

As a woman I personally did not find this book helpful at all. I bought it several years ago and found the author to be incredibly egotistical. To me it overemphasized the sexual aspect of marriage when I was starving for emotional intimacy. I wonder whether the previous reviewers were just patting each other on the back for being "self-differentiating". I can't remember whether I gave it away or threw it in the trash to prevent anyone else from suffering from it.

This is one of my favorite books. My husband and I both have our own copy. Mine is underlined and written up, although I usually don't do that. I went to the book to understand more about codependency (in Schnarch language - undifferentiation) and I learned a lot about HOW to be more differentiated. Codependent No More is a good start to see if you are codependent, but this book takes it to the next level - giving you practical strategies for what to do when you are enmeshed with your partner ...

My husband and I have been married for 5 years now and we have a really great relationship together. I have always been into self help books and I am currently deployed so I ordered a few books to read up on. I love the psychology information that this book puts out. This book is more geared for couples who are a little older than myself but it sure gave me a lot to think about. I defiantly see a change in my thinking about sex and relationships and I know my husband notices a great change in out ... Read More

This is an explicit book about the sexual relationship. It uses the sexual relationship to look at the whole nature of love and intimacy in marriage. The premise of the book is about differentiation as a key to intimacy. Rather than co-dependency or emotional fusion, couples need a sense of self in order to be in relation with their partner. Healthy partners make for a healthy realtionship. When the relationship is unhealthy, both partners-not just one-is sick. Both need a sense of self. They need ... Read More
