The Palgrave Handbook of the Psychology of Sexuality and Gender

Beschreibung

The Palgrave Handbook of the Psychology of Sexuality and Gender gives a thorough overview of all of the normative - and many of the less common - sexualities, genders and relationship forms including: Asexuality; Bisexuality; BDSM; Gay; Heterosexuality; Kink; Lesbian; Further sexualities; Trans sexualities; Cisgender; Intersex; Further genders; Non-binary gender; Monogamies; and Open Non-Monogamies.
The Handbook also considers psychological areas such as Clinical psychology; Counselling psychology; Qualitative research; Quantitative research; and Sex therapy as they relate to sexuality and gender as well as intersectional areas such as: Ageing; Ethnicity; Class; Disability; Health Psychology; and Religion.
Contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in this area combine cutting edge research with considerations on both clinical practice and academic study of sexuality and gender for psychologists from student to professor; and from any discipline interested in these ubiquitous aspects of humanity.

Rezensionen

"The authors explore current debates, implications for psychology and the world, and potential directions for future research. Important points are highlighted for students, academics, and applied professionals. ... The book's organized and accessible presentation makes it an efficient and highly usable reference. ... I also appreciate the authors' candor in identifying certain issues and identities that are largely invisible in existing psychological research. This would be a strong purchase for any library." (Karla J. Strand, Resources for Gender and Women's Studies: A Feminist Review, Vol. 39 (1), 2018)

"The Palgrave Handbook of the Psychology of Sexuality and Gender ... provides a lucid and comprehensive overview of gender and sexuality from a psychological perspective. ... The result is a collection that is comprehensive, cohesive, and highly informative. I recommend it for individuals who want to get up-to-date on gender and sexuality, as well as for graduateor advanced undergraduate courses on these topics." (Eileen L. Zurbriggen, Sex Roles, Vol. 76, 2017)
