Examine the effects of childhood trauma on sexual orientation and
behavior! This pioneering book examines the effects of childhood
traumaincluding sexual abuseon sexual orientation and behavior. It
will help you expand your sensitivity and expertise in a critically
important way: by providing a nonjudgmental look at the profound
effects of long-standing early abuse on the sexual identities,
orientation, behaviors, and fantasies of the people who come to you
for help. From the editors: In the modern era of trauma studies,
clinicians and researchers have been treating and investigating the
effects of traumaincluding the sexual abuse of childrenfor more
than two decades. And yet, we know far more about sequelae such as
post-traumatic and dissociative symptoms, disrupted attachment,
addictions, eating disorders, and somatoform symptoms than we do
about the effects of trauma on sexual behavior. With the exception
of a relatively few articles in the scientific literature (many of
which were written by the authors in this collection), little has
been published about the sexual effects of sexual abuse and other
childhood maltreatment. Why have we neglected this obvious and
important area? Perhaps the reason can be simply attributed to our
Victorian legacy of reluctance to openly discuss sexuality. Or,
perhaps the reason may be related to some of the expressions of
sexuality that are sometimes seen in persons with childhood trauma.
At times, expressions such as sexual addiction, homosexuality,
sadomasochistic behavior, and prostitution have been classified as
deviant. This may have contributed to our reluctance to discuss
them openly. Or, perhaps the reason is that we collectively wish to
deny the effects of abuse on one of the core aspects of ourselvesto
deny that early traumatic events forever change the sexual lives of
persons in such an intimate and profound way. The contributors to
this well-referenced book combine their insight and expertise to
address sensitive areas, including: the concepts of femininity and
masculinityand how these personality styles are direct and indirect
