Yesterday's intercourse

I have become very interested in how couples therapists can better integrate sexuality into couples therapy. Sex is sometimes viewed by therapists as very separate from other elements of the relationship or else as a by-product of relationship rather than an important and complex sub-system of peoples relationship. I have been looking for professional writing about integrating sexuality and couples therapy and came across the work of the late researcher Harold Lief. That lead me to this gem. It feels both so far away and so familiar. I don’t know whether these folks are actors; they are so extraordinarily real seeming but they hit so many of the familiar points in this situation that it seems scripted. So much has changed since this video was recorded but so much has remained the same both in couples lives and couples therapy.
