It provides practical and concrete advice about conducting human sexuality research and addresses issues inherent to both general social scientific and specific human sexuality research. This comprehensive resource offers a unique multidisciplinary examination of the specific methodological issues inherent in conducting human sexuality research.

Download or read book The Handbook of Sexuality in Close Relationships written by John H. Harvey and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-04-26 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although sexuality is an integral part of close romantic relationships, research linking these two constructs has been less systematic than other areas pertaining to close relationships. To date, researchers in communication, sociology, family studies, psychology, and psychiatry, have made significant advances in both of these fields. The editors' goal is to integrate this research into one volume. They bring together major scholars from the diversity of fields working on close relationship topics to examine past contributions and new directions in sexuality. The emphasis is on theoretical integration and stimulation, methodological rigor, and critical analysis. This volume explores: *early sexual experiences and their impact on late life sexuality; *how life's stresses impact sexuality and satisfaction with closeness; *the affect of postpartum depression on sexuality; and *the relationship between control, power, anger, as well as revenge and sexual processes in couples. The Handbook of Sexuality in Close Relationships is intended for students and researchers in the disciplines of social, clinical, developmental, and health psychology; family studies; counseling; and interpersonal, family, and health communication. An excellent reference in advanced courses in close relationships taught in psychology, communications, sociology, anthropology, and family studies, the material in Part V will also appeal to clinical psychologists, health professionals, and policymakers.

Download or read book APA Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology written by Deborah L. Tolman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexuality is a fundamental component of human psychological experience, and yet it remains relatively underrepresented in the history of the psychological sciences. The APA Handbook on Sexuality and Psychology marks a turning point in the status of sexuality within the discipline of psychology. This comprehensive, two-volume handbook provides an overarching review of current empirical research on sexuality and a synthesis of the dominant theoretical perspectives that have guided both research and clinical practice. An organizing current throughout the volume is the integration of individual experience and social/cultural context across every domain of sexuality. This dual emphasis on person and context is reflected in the structure of the handbook itself. Volume 1 presents foundational information on the history, theoretical and methodological development and current practices in the field, and then moves on to address foundational aspects of sexuality, including desire, orientation, behavior and practices, individual lifespan development, and biological substrates. Volume 2 broadens the analytical frame to emphasize the core contextual factors known to influence the development, expression and interpretation of sexuality and its expression in and through all of the key social institutions of our society, including marginalized populations, education, sexual rights and communities, globalization, religion and the media. The APA Handbook on Sexuality and Psychology will become a defining resource of this increasingly central topic across the sub-disciplines of psychology.

Download or read book The Handbook of Forensic Sexology written by James J. Krivacska and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship of scientific research on human sexuality (sexology) to society's legal, judicial, and law enforcement systems (forensics) is the focus of this encyclopedic volume. Editors James J. Krivacska and John Money have assembled contributions by leading experts, covering a wide range of legal and medical issues pertaining to the interconnection between law and sexual behavior. Section One examines the nature of paraphilic behavior and the social framework within which some of it becomes illegal. The topics discussed include sodomy, pedophilia, incest, sexual abuse, rape, exhibitionism, prostitution, and sexual harassment. Section Two looks at current strategies for assessing the problems of sex offenders and victims. Among the areas addressed are "real" sexual abuse vs. "manufactured" allegations of abuse memories, allegations of satanism and ritual sexual abuse, and the difficulties of treating sex offenders within a legal framework. The final section argues that sexology has much to contribute to the debate of the appropriate role of government in regulating the private sexual behavior of the citizenry. Sex education, contraception, abortion, AIDS, pornography, social tolerance vs. criminalization, and a comparative view of public sex policy in China and Russia are among the subjects reviewed.
Download or read book Handbook for Human Sexuality Counseling written by Angela M. Schubert and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Human sexuality counseling is an area rarely addressed directly in either the human sexuality literature or the professional counseling literature. Human sexuality textbooks generally consist of the fundamentals of sexuality, specifically the physiological aspects. The standards of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) now include specific standards that address the need for educating counseling students about human sexuality counseling, specifically in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling (Section 5 D.2.m), Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling (Section 5. F. 2.e.) and Rehabilitation Counseling (Section 5 H.2.h). Further, there is a belief by some that "information is enough." According to this approach, all that needs to be covered in sex education classes in secondary schools is basic and introductory facts and data. That approach may then carry over through a counseling student's undergraduate coursework too. By the time that the counseling student reaches graduate school, they too may have integrated the belief that "information is enough" into their own belief system. Researchers have found, however, time and time again that training in sexuality-related pathology is too limited and that "information" alone is not enough in terms of which topics are addressed in counseling related to sexuality (Blount et al., 2017)"--
