By integrating individual, sexual and marital therapies, this study attempts to provide a fresh look at the nature of intimacy and the diverse barriers to eroticism in marriage. The author refutes the common focus on sexual technique, calling instead for an emphasis on sexual potential.

Summary: Not written for couples, written for people treating couples.
Comment: This book is written to train doctors who treat couples for sexual issues that arise in marriage. My wife and I have tried to read this book together, it goes so deep into the history of sex and uses words that only a doctor would get. I am sure that this is a very good book and I will continue to read it. For people having issues in their marriage, I don't recommend this book, it is to hard to follow. It spends the first three chapters putting you to sleep. I am still in search of a book that will help my wife and I get things working again. If anyone really liked this book, I am sorry if I upset or offended you.

Summary: can't go wrong with amazon
Comment: I would have loved to save time and purchased this book from a local retailer. Problem was that I could not find it. There is a reason why Amazon.com is such a force to be reconed with. They had the book. I placed the order on Friday and had it in my hand on Monday.
The book is wonderful. The service at Amazon was seemless and painless.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too mental for me
Comment: Although I am a medical doctor and consider myself to be average in intelligence, this book put me to sleep. There is so much theory and scientific information that it put me, a physician, to sleep. There are some parts that deserve merit and some insights that are useful but you have to read a large amount of material that seems amazingly boring to get to it. I would not recommend this book. I have read 100 pages so far and it has been hard to continue reading more. I will make an effort to finish it and report to you later. Maybe there is a surprise somewhere ahead of these pages

Summary: Magnus Opus
Comment: Schnarch has completed a Herculean task of exploring in depth the role of intimacy and sexuality (and spirituality). The sexual crucible model clearly is the most sophisticated model available today for marriage and sex therapists. His novel approach propells the field beyond the behavioral and technique focus that most therapist wouldn't even do if they had too. I was impressed that he attempted to address spirituality and some of his concepts in the final chapter are interesting. However, he falls into a simple dichotomy in analyzing religion which basically is a good/bad split. He really doesn't understand the depth of thought behind some of the previous great thinkers and sees them only through 20th century glasses, where they are easy targets. Overall, I strongly recommend this book to therapists. It is truly groundbreaking.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A break through book about the dynamics of intimate relation
Comment: This book makes sense of the relationship between personal growth and intimacy with another. Schnarch describes how differentiation can be accelerated with the use of sexual intimacy. He gives the basis for a decision in favor of monogamy without one bit of moralism. A very exciting book
