Marty Klein, Ph.D.

Dr. Marty Klein has been a Licensed Marriage & Family Counselor and Sex Therapist for 24 years. He has aimed his entire career toward a single set of goals: telling the truth about sexuality, helping people feel sexually adequate & powerful, and supporting the healthy sexual expression and exploration of women and men.

Marty pursues his goal of a sexually enlightened world through therapy, lectures, writing, lobbying, and media work. He has published over 100 articles in magazines such as Playboy, New Woman, and Parents. He is a former contributing editor to The New Physician, American Baby, Modern Bride, and Men's Guide to Fashion, and he is quoted every year in dozens of other publications.

Marty has written five books:

His books have been acclaimed by everyone from USA Today to The California Therapist to the Playboy Advisor to Shere Hite. His books have been excerpted in national magazines, cited in the popular and professional press, and published in a total of nine languages. Marty also has chapters in several professional books, such as The Handbook of Clinical Child Psychology and Treating Sexual Disorders.

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, Montell Williams, Jenny Jones, and Today.

Marty is that rare professional: truly expert in his subject, comfortable on live TV and in front of audiences, and extremely funny. His wit and expertise make him a frequently-quoted expert appearing in Newsweek, USA Today, and even Ann Landers.

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 & Family Therapists, and Stanford University Medical School. His books, audiotapes, and videotapes frequently sell out at such events.

Marty's accomplishments are also recognized abroad: he has trained professionals in countries including Russia, Israel, Morocco, Latvia, and Croatia.

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 & Family Therapists.

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. Marty lives in Palo Alto, California with his wife, cactus garden, and enormous collection of rock 'n' roll albums. He plays chamber music in a quartet called Behinde the Tymes.
