Reading like detective stories, these five illustrativeaccounts of her work reveal Wells's ( Right Brain Sex ) powerfulrespect--and talent--for narrative. With reconstructed dialogue,revealing details and a firm grounding in the principles ofdevelopmental psychology, she illuminates her patients' fears,obsessions and, in some cases, triumphs. Calling on memory techniquesand careful therapeutic probing, she helps patients trace theircurrent difficulties--one man is addicted to sex with strangers;another is a virgin in his 30s, deeply fearful of all intimacy; onewoman is trapped in a masturbatory fantasy that threatensrelationships with others--back to incidents and attitudes encounteredin their childhoods. Without prurience or unrealistic expectations,Wells's straightforward stories offer hope for change to those whoselives are limited by destructive sexual habits. Psychotherapy BookClub selection.
