The Leather Couch provides a comprehensive overview of the BDSM and
kink community and guides clinicians on how to meet the unique
relational and mental health needs of its members. The text offers
a 101-style introduction to BDSM before delving into topics ranging
from intersectionality within the kink community, to conducting a
kink-affirming risk assessment and how to discern between domestic
violence and consensual power-exchange. The author explores
differential diagnoses and clinical concerns that are relevant to
health care providers, including social workers and therapists as
well as primary care physicians and sex educators. Interwoven
throughout with real-world case studies, each chapter presents
practical suggestions, tools, and handouts the reader can use to
inform their practice and serve clients in ways that meet the needs
of each individual, couple, or partnership. Written in a
conversational, accessible style for clinicians and members of the
BDSM community alike, The Leather Couch is the go-to resource for
any mental health professional or educator looking to transform
their practice from kink aware to kink affirming.
