This comprehensive overview of research, issues, and theories
relating to sexual orientation, behavior, and identity by experts
in various disciplines is unique in providing both historical
perspectives and a synthesis of the recent advances in
understanding homosexuality and heterosexuality. Drawing from
biological and psychological research, this handbook critically
reviews the major theories about sexual orientation and examines
each theory on the basis of empirical support. One section
summarizes recent developments in genetic and neuroanatomic
research. Another section discusses problems with sexual
performance among heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual persons. A
third section provides overviews of clinical disorders or sexual
deviations. Various chapters clarify the distinction between sexual
disorders, such as pedophilia, and sexual variations, such as
homosexuality. Chapters also examine important social issues
relevant to sexual orientation, such as disability, prejudice,
aging, and gender roles. Experts address the continuing controversy
over the feasibility of altering sexual orientation; new
developments in treating different types of problems; and changing
perspectives today. This handbook is designed for the use of
educators, students, and researchers in the social and behavioral
sciences.
