Maxwell, J. (2025). Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy: Exploring the Unconscious Life of Sexuality.

Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy: Exploring the Unconscious Life of Sexuality brings together psychoanalysis, trauma theory, and contemporary sex therapy to illuminate how unconscious life reveals itself in our intimate worlds—through desire, inhibition, conflict, and the patterns that often speak louder than words. Drawing from rich clinical case studies and theoretical exploration, Juliane Maxwald demonstrates how sexuality functions as a hidden language of longing, defense, and survival. The book shows how sexual symptoms and fantasies can be understood not as problems to fix, but as encrypted messages from the unconscious—inviting curiosity, compassion, and transformation. Integrating insights from relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and somatic trauma research, Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy offers clinicians a roadmap for working at the intersection of body and mind, behavior and meaning. Both practical and deeply reflective, the book explores how therapy can transform the language of sexuality into one of recognition, connection, and growth—restoring intimacy not only between partners, but within the self.
