Difficulties in intimacy and sexuality within the couple are a frequent reason for seeking clinical help, prompting exploration and understanding of the functioning of emotional bonds in order to promote increasingly effective treatments. The couple is a dynamic system in which meanings, implicit and explicit rules, and physical, relational, and psychological boundaries are coconstructed.

Internal working models of attachment and the dynamics associated with interpersonal motivational systems influence desire, emotional regulation, and modalities of contact, comunication and connection. Sexual symptoms often emerge as the outcome of circular dysfunctional relational processes.
