Dr. Marty Klein has been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist for 28 years. He has guided his entire career toward a single set of goals: telling the truth about sexuality, helping people feel sexually adequate and powerful, and supporting the healthy sexual expression and exploration of women and men.
As a clinician, Marty works each week with couples and individuals who have a variety of sexual and non-sexual difficulties--over 20,000 sessions since 1980. He also provides consultations to other therapists and supervises their cases. Known and respected by his colleagues, Marty has been elected a national board member of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. Listed in the International Who's Who of Sexology, Marty was recently honored by the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
Dr. Klein pursues his goal of a sexually enlightened world through therapy, lectures, writing, forensic, and media work. He has published over 100 articles in publications such as Parents, New Woman, The Journal of Sex Research, and San Francisco Medicine, and he is a former contributing editor to The New Physician, American Baby, and Modern Bride. A popular guest on the electronic media, Marty has been featured on radio in over 100 cities. His TV credits include virtually every national talk show, including Phil Donahue, Sally Jessy Raphael, Montel Williams, Jenny Jones, and Today.
Dr. Klein has written five books: Ask Me Anything: Dr. Klein Answers the Sex Questions You'd Love To Ask, Beyond Orgasm: Dare to be Honest About the Sex You Really Want, The Erotic Prism: New Perspectives on Sex, Love, and Desire, Sexual Intelligence: Politics, Culture, the Media, and Sex and Beyond Intercourse: A New Eroticism for Modern Lovers.
A tireless speaker, Marty has given over 600 keynote speeches, training programs, and popular lectures to groups including the American College of Surgeons, Junior League National Conference, Miami Women's Hospital, Illinois University, National Association of Social Workers, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and Stanford University Medical School.
