Reviews

What strikes me is Cherry Potter's openness, how engaging her book is and how much I identify with it. I've no doubt this will be a great book for therapists as well as for people struggling to understand their own sexuality. But I suspect its real value will be for encouraging people to be as honest with themselves as Cherry Potter has been. Philippa Perry, Psychotherapist, Author, Presenter of Sex Lies and Lovebites: The Agony Aunt Story (BBC Four), The Great British Sex Survey (Channel 4) and others Her writing style is accessible and her knowledge of psycho-analytic theory obvious. I recommend it widely. Paula Hall, UKCP Accredited Sexual and Relationship Psychotherapist, Founder and Clinical Director of the Laurel Centre, Author, Sex Addiction: A Guide for Couples and Those Who Help Them
