Exploring the complexities of sexuality and gender, this practical guide offers an in-depth understanding of various sexualities, genders, and relationship forms. It covers both common and less common identities, providing insights into the experiences and challenges associated with each. By breaking down intricate concepts, the text aims to educate readers and foster a deeper awareness of the diverse spectrum of human sexuality and gender expression.
An existentially-informed enquiry with implications for counselling psychology
Grounded in innovative qualitative research, the book delves into the sexual experiences of individuals who identify differently from their assigned gender at birth. It challenges the notion that categorizing the trans community into distinct groups accurately reflects their sexuality, highlighting how this assumption has skewed perceptions in a field that remains largely under-explored. The work aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the interplay between gender identity and sexuality within the trans community.
Motivated by the need to incorporate gender diversity into clinical practice, this book provides simple, practical advice on working with trans and non- binary people in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Written by two clinicians with extensive experience, it will be invaluable for psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals.
