Esther Perel (born 1958) is a Belgian psychotherapist of Polish-Jewish descent who has explored the tension between the need for security (love, belonging and closeness) and the need for freedom (erotic desire, adventure and distance) in human relationships.
Perel promoted the concept of Erotic Intelligence in her book Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence (2006), which has been translated into 24 languages. After publishing the book, she became an international advisor on sex and relationships. She gave a TED talk in February 2013 entitled The secret to desire in a long-term relationship, and another in March 2015 entitled Rethinking infidelity ... a talk for anyone who has ever loved.
Perel is the host of the podcast Where Should We Begin?, which is based inside her therapist's office as she sees anonymous couples in search of insight into topics such as infidelity, sexlessness and grief.
In 2016, Perel was named to Oprah Winfrey's Supersoul 100 list of visionaries and influential leaders.
Vi forventer, at vores parforhold skal være romantisk og både følelsesmæssigt og seksuelt tilfredsstillende. Er det så underligt, at mange forhold bryder sammen under vægten af de krav? Det er svært at oparbejde spænding, forventning og begær med det samme menneske, som man ønsker tryghed og stabilitet hos. Men det er ikke umuligt. Esther Perel har 7 millioner views på TED Talk. Bogen er oversat til 26 sprog.
Esther Perel har mere end 20 års erfaring som praktiserende parterapeut og er toneangivende i sin skarpe, tankevækkende og også provokerende tilgang til intimitet og sex. I Erotisk intelligens undersøger hun det komplekse i at fastholde lysten i et længerevarende parforhold. Hun udfordrer paradokset mellem tryghed og begær og viser gennem cases og eksempler, hvordan I får lysten hjem igen. Med humor og indsigt vil Erotisk intelligens forandre den måde, du lever og elsker på.
