Critics Review
‘Reads like a cross between the works of Jacques Lacan andFrench Women Don’t Get Fat’
An elegant sociological study, complete with erudite literary and anthropological references - Daily Telegraph
Reads like a cross between the works of Jacques Lacan and French Women Don’t Get Fat - The New YorkerAt precisely the same moment that you’re being shocked by her, you’re also acknowledging the validity of her ideas.

It’s all rather terrifying in its intuitiveness and its pure rightness - ObserverEsther Perel
Esther Perel is a Belgian-born psychotherapist, and the leading authority on erotic intelligence. Mating in Captivity is her first book. She lives in New York with her husband of twenty-one years, and their two sons.
