Surrogate Partner Therapy
“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain” – Carl G. Jung
“The concept of surrogate partners grew out of the work of Masters and Johnson in the mid-1960’s.
Their initial research centered on understanding and improving the sex lives of married
couples. Eventually their work addressed the issue of helping un-partnered individuals treat their
sexual dysfunction. As necessity is the mother of invention they recruited an untrained group of
women to aid these single individuals in resolving their sexual problems. Masters and Johnson
created a mechanical approach to sexuality, devoid of emotional intimacy.” “Sex is the least of it”

Below is my doctorate dissertation which was written from the historical records of three female
surrogate partners. My purpose for compiling this data was to prove through a compilation of
stories,resources and statistics which document the effectiveness of surrogate partner therapy.
