One out of every three couples struggles with mismatched sexual desire---a formula for marital disaster. When one spouse is sexually dissatisfied and the other is oblivious, unconcerned, or uncaring, sex isn't the only casualty; a sense of emotional connection can also disappear. Helping couples bridge the desire gap can be challenging when one spouse appears unmotivated or lacks empathy. This speech presents a collaborative model for partners to work together to turn around the decline in their sex lives and reignite their emotional connection.
Case Discussion 01 Panel w/ Bruno Bettelheim, PhD, Murray Bowen, MD, Mary M. Goulding, MSW, and Thomas S. Szasz, MD. Moderated by William R. McLeod, MD.
