sexual psychotherapy, couples therapy, constructivismAbstract
This article presents a systemic-constructivistic approach to integrative sexual and couple psychotherapy that encourages in depth exploration of sexual meanings and their impact on the couple relationship. Reproductivity, gender, eroticism and interpersonal bonding as main aspects of sexuality are analyzed as different and interdependent systems, called holons, in the couple relationship. The ways of an holonic treatment are suggested and an exemple of its application is offered.
