Handbook for Human Sexuality Counseling: A Sex Positive Approach 1st Edition
This handbook emphasizes a sex-positive approach to human sexuality counseling, providing 25 chapters by counseling and other specialists from the US, who avoid pathologizing or discriminating against sexual behaviors and expressions that are not heteronormative, reproduction-focused, or cisnormative. They emphasize a strengths-based, developmentally appropriate, psychoeducational, and sex-positive approach, with examples of evidence-based, sex-positive, and practical treatment planning and implementation. Chapters address the foundations of the approach, including current issues in mental health and the difference between a sexual wellness and a medical framework; the history of sex, including cultural taboos, the impact of religion, and cultural differences in sexual norms, as well as the politics of sex; ethics and professional pitfalls; physiological and psychological aspects, including the physiology of sex, the role of the brain in sex and desire, the role of orgasm, and societal messages about sex and sexuality; and aspects of attraction, sexual orientation, and gender, including gender diversity.
