This book aims to equip mental health professionals to integrate
discussions of sexual identity, health, wellness, and intimacy into
the scope of their client's mental health, ensuring they are
well-prepared to incorporate sexual functioning into core
assessment, interventions, and treatment. We exist in societies
that are scared to discuss sexual health, identity, and
relationships, and the stigma surrounding these topics saturates
our mental health professions. Sex, intimacy, and sexual identity
have historically been relegated as 'specialized' topics when
training new clinicians, which has led to professionals feeling
unable and unskilled to speak about a core part of their client's
psychological, biological, physical, and relational health. Viewing
this as a social justice issue, this book addresses a movement in
the counseling field to incorporate sexual health into therapy as
well as providing new ways of foundational teaching. Chapters begin
exploring the history of sex therapy and the problems that have
previously been addressed as concerns for the sex therapy field
only, before discussing issues surrounding transference and
countertransference. Encouraging self-reflection regarding values,
bias, and attitudes related to topics of sexuality, the book moves
to discussing strategies and integrative approaches to co-occurring
conditions, such as trauma, diagnosis of sexual difficulties,
stigma and societal messages, biopsychosocial treatment, networking
and coordination of care, and spiritual health and healing.
Including journaling exercises, assessment tools, and case studies
of how to weave approaches addressing sexual concerns into
practice, this book will provide graduate courses and continuing
education instructors with the core material to assist the training
and development of future and established professionals.
