Rezensionen

"The intersection of religion and sex is often labeled as problematic or is left unaddressed in the therapeutic setting. Yet for religious clients, sexuality cannot be separated from their worldview. Dr. Caleb Jacobson's book is a powerful voice for these clients, and an indispensable resource for the therapists who serve them. Finally - sex is being spoken about from and through religious contexts in an empowering, bold, and practical manner."

Sameera Qureshi, M.S., Sexual Health For Muslims

Sex, faith, culture, and religion are often inextricably linked. Not always in seen or obvious ways but in no doubt within the therapeutic domain. In much of our work the blend of these aspects of the client's life needs to

be included; to exclude them does the client a disservice. Dr. Caleb Jacobson's book gives the ability to speak in a meaningful and open way. It is an excellent resource for therapists to look through a religious lens in service to their clients.

Dr. Caleb Jacobson's new book, Sex Therapy with Religious Patients, is a practical resource that will help sex therapists and students in training cultivate the cultural competencies necessary for ethical practice when working with conventionally religious clients. I look forward to having my students engage with this valuable text.
