Reviews
[-] 083085 - Couples Therapy Workbook: 30 Guided Conversations to Re-Connect Relationships
“What a unique resource! A treasure-trove of guided conversations to increase intimacy and friendship.
Therapists often ask me for good homework assignments. This book does the thinking for you. Keep it on hand and whether its values, sex, conflict or
other challenging issues, you'll have a ready-made way to help your clients make immediate progress.”
-- Ellyn Bader, Ph.D,
Founder/Director The Couples Institute
"This is a valuable resource for anyone working with couples. Any couple can profit greatly if they are willing to take Kathleen Youngman's challenge
to explore these important topics and discuss these wonderful questions."
-- Milan and Kay Yerkovich,
Authors of best-selling How We Love series
“Instead of offering analysis, advice or theory, The Couples Therapy Workbook offers just that, a set of questions to stimulate conversations that help
couples deepen their engagement with each other and reconnect. All couples will find this an exceptional guide, and all therapists will find it an
effective instrument to supplement the therapeutic process. I highly recommend it and complement the author on her creativity and attention to the core
details of a connected relationship.”

[-] 083835 - Sex Made Simple
"In the world of sex therapists, a few are writers. Of those, fewer still are succinct and wise. Barry McCarthy's recent book is very much in keeping with his other works. He gives up-to-date, practical, and scientifically informed advice. 'Sex Made Simple' is indeed an honest, direct, clearly stated book about couples and their sexual health. The effortlessness of the writing--so easy to understand--belies what all sex therapists know about Barry McCarthy. He is at the top of the field and has written a series of books that have helped thousands of couples (and hundreds of sex therapists helping thousands of couples). This book is at the top of my recommendation list. Bravo to Barry McCarthy for writing such an accessible and wonderful book."-- Sallie Foley, LMSW, ASSECT certified sexuality educator, supervisor, and diplomate of sex therapy
“Barry McCarthy has written a thorough, state-of-the-art, and, above all, a practical guide for any therapist who ever encounters a sexual problem in clients. It can be used as a reference by topic or gulped down in one piece. Sex Made Simple should be on the bookshelf of every working couples therapist.”
Terry Real, LICSW Author of The New Rules of Marriage & I Don’t Want to Talk About It
“Dr. McCarthy has, once again, demonstrated why he is considered a master sex therapist. In this book, he has taken what are often considered extremely complex sexual difficulties, and made them “simple.” Through the effective use of text, case studies and very user-friendly exercises, Dr. McCarthy has created an invaluable guide for clinicians and couples alike.”
Daniel N. Watter, EdD President, Society for Sex Therapy and Research
“Sex Made Simple is valuable in that it is specifically written for the general psychotherapist, is brimming with practical information, and case illustrations. Dr. McCarthy shares his years of clinical experience in this text which should be part of every therapist's library. Both beginning and experienced therapists will find this book to be easy to read and informative.”
Robert Taylor Segraves, MD Editor, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy
“Once again Barry McCarthy offers us a thoughtful and profound book on sexuality, one that takes the angst out of sexuality and offers a clear straightforward path to sexual fulfillment.”
Sue Johnson, EdD Founder of the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy and author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love and Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships
“The time has come for therapists to become sex positive and up-to-date with the latest sex therapy information and Barry McCarthy is the therapist to provide it. With his pro-sexuality stance, he corrects the myths by citing current research and transforming it into good, solid clinical work. This book provides therapists with step-by-step treatment planning and goals for all clients and is inclusive of gender, sexual orientations and diverse sexual expressions. After finishing this book, therapists will be armed with the right tools and information they need to provide sex therapy.”
Joe Kort, PhD, LMSW Author of Gay Affirmative Therapy for the Straight Clinician
“An excellent resource! As therapists we often focus on helping couples improve sexual functioning, yet Barry McCarthy explains that the real struggle is inhibited sexual desire. Focusing on desire as the core component of healthy sexuality, McCarthy delivers brilliant guidelines and exercises to help couples integrate intimacy and eroticism into their sexual style.”
Kathleen Mates-Youngman, M.A. LMFT author of Couples Therapy Workbook: 30 Guided Conversations To Re-Connect Relationships
"Illustrated with thoughtful case studies Sex Made Simple offers deceptively sophisticated guidance for the experienced or novice individual and couple therapists alike. McCarthy teaches clinicians the needed concepts and interventions to expand their therapeutic repertoire, enabling them to facilitate improvement in their client’s sex lives. Highly readable and informative, it is already an excellent addition to our library.”
