An Intersectional Approach to Sex Therapy (eBook, PDF)

Centering the Lives of Indigenous, Racialized, and People of Color

Redaktion: Malone, Reece M.; Wadley, James C.; Gary-Smith, Mariotta; Stewart, Marla Renee

Beschreibung

When a Black, Indigenous, or racialized individual or relationship works with a sex therapist, a host of cultural circumstances can contribute to intimacy discord and sexual dysfunction. This collection brings together clinicians and educators who share their approaches, bridging sex therapy with a client's relationship to their racial, cultural, and ethnic identity.

This essential book aims to enhance therapists' supervisory practices and clinical treatments when working with culturally diverse and marginalized populations, fostering greater understanding and awareness. Innovative tools that integrate the impacts of acculturation, minority status, intersectionality, and minority stress are discussed, with case studies, demonstrations, and critical questions included.

This collection is a necessary read for anyone who is training to be or who is an established sex therapist, marriage and family therapist, relationship counselor, or sexuality educator and consultant.

Rezensionen

"This is essential reading for those of us who care deeply about providing culturally relevant sex therapy to marginalized peoples. The collection of expert authors offer personal and professional reflections that give the reader insight, interventions and a road map for working with specific populations. If you are ready to incorporate fresh ideas into your therapy practice, an educator looking for a handy resource, or a graduate student looking for more nuance than traditional sexuality theory, this is the book you've been waiting for."

-Juan Camarena, PhD, LMFT, LPCC; certified sex therapist and lecturer, San Diego State University, USA

"What's captivating about this clinical compendium put together by BIPOC therapists is that it provides nuanced and focused therapeutic interventions that promotes healing and empowerment for people who have been traditionally marginalized or underserved. The case studies in each chapter provide excellent examples for how to effectively engage clients and their individual and systemic challenges that impact growth, happiness, and healthy sexual functioning. This is a must read for all mental and relational health professionals."
