Now in a new edition, Speaking of Sexuality: Interdisciplinary
Readings remains the most comprehensive, research-oriented, and
interdisciplinary sexuality anthology available. Edited by a team
of highly acclaimed professionals, this edition retains the same
framework as its predecessors: sexual health. Its guiding principle
is that a healthy sexual script should be a realistic goal for
everyone, because sexuality is an inseparable part of an
individual's persona from birth until death.
Speaking of Sexuality, Third Edition, presents leading classic and
contemporary works in sexuality research and theory along with
in-depth articles about timely issues from the popular media. The
book chapters and journal articles, which have been carefully
edited to make them accessible yet still rigorous, are enhanced by
detailed part openers and chapter lead-ins that provoke critical
thinking and class discussions. Incorporating the insights of a new
coeditor, psychologist Terri D. Fisher, the third edition offers
twenty-eight new book chapters and journal articles and two
additional units--"Relationships and Sexuality" and "Sexual
Health." This edition also integrates more selections on
race/ethnicity and sexual orientation and additional readings from
psychological, anthropological, and feminist perspectives. It
covers a host of cutting-edge topics including asexuality,
bisexuality, evolutionary psychology, "hooking up," the
medicalization of erectile dysfunction, oral sex, and virginity
pledges.
Ideal for sexuality courses offered in psychology, sociology,
family studies, health education, nursing, women's studies, and
social work departments, Speaking of Sexuality, Third Edition, aids
students in their quest to better understand their own sexuality
and to become more savvy consumers of sexuality-related materials
in the mass media. A revised Instructor's Manual and Test Bank
contains a wealth of materials including chapter conclusions
available in PowerPoint; multiple-choice, true/false, and essay
questions; a chapter review form; and a list of relevant websites.
