This collection aims to address the marginalization and under-theorization of sexuality and sexual identity in social work research and practice. Its starting point is that sexuality is a key aspect of individual identity, that service users must be able to express their sexuality, and that it is essential for social workers to be able to respond to and discuss sexual issues appropriately. The volume contains both empirical and reflective pieces from women immersed in various social work settings.
