| Summary | When a Black, Indigenous, or racialized individual, or relationship works with a sex therapist, a host of cultural circumstances can contribute to intimacy discord and sexual dysfunction. This collection brings together clinicians and educators who share their approaches, bridging sex therapy with a client's relationship to their racial, cultural, and ethnic identity. This essential book aims to enhance therapists' supervisory practices and clinical treatments when working with culturally diverse and marginalized populations, fostering greater understanding and awareness. Innovative tools that integrate the impacts of acculturation, minority status, intersectionality, and minority stress are discussed, with case studies, demonstrations, and critical questions included. This collection is a necessary read for anyone who is training or is an established sex therapist, marriage and family therapist, relationship counsellor, or sexuality educator and consultant. publisher |
