The regulation of sexuality and the careful distinction between
normality and abnormality has a long and checkered history--with
psychologists at the forefront of this debate. Yet any attempt to
identify a simple and unitary psychology of sexual problems'
inevitably becomes the focus of a great deal of criticism,
particularly from the disciplines of psychoanalysis and feminism.
The aim of "Psychological Perspectives on Sexual Problems" is both
to provoke and to promote a glasnost between those whose work
directly involves research and intervention in the arena of
sexuality, and those who would deconstruct, criticize, and reframe
any understanding of sexuality outside of the dominant discourse of
psychology.
The contributors examine the psychological theories associated
with sexuality and sexual problems and at the same time present
examples of positive and empowering practice with groups of
individuals whose sexuality is often ignored or marginalized. These
individuals include those with learning difficulties or physical
disabilities, sex offenders, gay men with AIDS, and women with
eating disorders. "Psychological Perspectives on Sexual Problems"
is the first text to integrate critical theory and current clinical
practice, in an attempt to arrive at a revolutionary approach to
the psychology of sexuality.
