Sexual Partnering, Sexual Practices, and Health

By Sana Loue

Book Overview

This title replaces myth and stereotype on sexual partnering with meticulously documented findings on real people and their behaviors in their social, environmental, and individual contexts. Author Sana Loue examines the range of partnerships not only in the U.S. but also in Europe and the developing world, focusing on both consenting relationships and exploitative sexual interactions. All chapters cogently address the health issues that arise from these arrangements, concluding with implications for research, prevention, and intervention. Throughout, Loue argues for a common language across disciplines and challenges her readers - therapists, health care providers, and policymakers alike - to rethink their assumptions about clients, their health needs, and the communities they represent.
