Taylor & Francis Ltd A TraumaInformed Understanding of Online
Book SynopsisThis book examines the contemporary one-size-fits-all model of treatment for sexual offenders and challenges the confrontational approach to working with this group.In recent years, the incidence of people (predominantly men) getting arrested for inappropriate online usage has increased exponentially. This book attempts to understand why this is the case and what can be done to help these individuals and, in turn, reduce the risk of them re-offending. A stand-alone follow-up text from Hudson-Allez's popular Infant Losses, Adult Searches, this book carries forward the compelling case study of Gordon from the previous text. Throughout his journey from arrest to rehabilitation, the chapters provide insight into the relationship between internet offending and dysfunctional attachments and neurodiversity. Our current understandings of childhood trauma, transgenerational transmission, and diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder and ADHD are all investigated in relation to cases of onTrade Review‘This book represents a particular lens for analysts and therapists, dissecting a case study’s life experience to better understand how trauma has shaped his behaviour, both violent and sexual. His passage through the Criminal Justice System is as compassion-free as his therapist is trauma-informed. This was a pleasure to read; Glyn Hudson-Allez has critiqued many assumptions that we have traditionally regarded as undisputed, evidenced her thoughts with neuroscience research and thereby making us think again. The brutalisation of this young man is laid bare for all to see; you will need to read to the end to be able to address your own thoughts as to what or who caused the greatest damage. It leaves me with the question, “will we ever learn?”.’Antounette Phillipedes, Chair, StopSO.‘This is a brilliant read for practitioners who work with people who have sexually offended in society. The book is completely underpinned by neuroscience and what is understood about how traumatic childhood experiences damage people. Many damaged children become damaged adults if not given the right trauma-informed support at the right time. This is what I see 100% of the time in my own working practice working with men, women and children. Glyn Hudson-Allez has brilliantly linked the theories into what they look like in practice with the character in the book.’Terri Van Leeson, PhD, Consultant Forensic Psychologist.‘This unique book is essential reading for any practitioner who works with clients who offend, or are at risk of offending, online. It provides engaging insight from a case throughout and comprehensive explanations into some of the psychological mechanisms underlying this type of offending.’Clare Allely, Professor of Forensic Psychology, University of Salford.‘A multi-layered book, based on a lifetime of delivering therapy to the most marginalised. Whilst not losing focus on child protection and welfare, the text offers a revealing insight into the part trauma and neurobiology play in internet offending, particularly for males who are neurodivergent. This is a progressive, humane and necessary book, informed by a desire for balance and justice for all.’ Andrew Smith, PhD, Risk Assessor/Forensic Therapist and Expert Witness.Table of ContentsContentsPreface Chapter 1: The Knock.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sand Therapy for Out of Control Sexual Behavior
Book SynopsisThis book is designed to educate sex therapists and mental health professionals on the power of using sand when treating sexual issues, providing guidance in accessing their clients' unconscious to seek new ways of healing.Uniquely integrating sex therapy with sand therapy, Dawson describes how understanding and applying non-pathological theories and neuroscience to different modalities, such as Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory, can help clients move forward from shame, sexual dysfunctions, and trauma. The book begins by introducing how therapists can use sand as a doorway into using metaphor and imagery in their practice, with information on how the nervous system keeps somatic experiences trapped in the body being explored. Written in an easy, accessible style, the book also includes handouts, belief cards, and case studies throughout to help therapists see the benefits of using sand with clients in practice.Including forewords by Dr. Lorraine Freedle andTrade Review‘A marvellous volume that served as a great introduction to sand therapy and working with out of control sexual behaviors. I do not use sand or miniatures in my work, and after reading I can see why this work is so important. Dr. Peg Hurley Dawson clearly lays out the theoretical underpinning that guides her practice. She invites you into the therapy space where you can see her facilitate powerful transformations of her clients, working as an attuned witness, and gives them space to deeply connect with their unconscious.’ Ethan Wattley, LPC ‘Dr. Peg Hurley Dawson’s book shares her passion for her created process of IFSsandtray and integration of modalities (Kalffian Sandplay, et al.) and compels clinicians to explore further how to integrate these methods in practice. This book is easily digested with its personal case studies that provide guided insight into how this process works and its efficacy. This integrated process allows for clinicians from all backgrounds to have access to a method of healing that goes beyond talk-therapy and uses non-pathologizing ways of thinking about and interacting with clients. As an EMDR trained, Internationally Credentialed Sandtray Therapist, IFSsandtray has changed the way I do therapy as I have seen shifts in clients as soon as they complete the process that Dr. Dawson has laid out’ Chelsey Luke, LMHC, ICSTTable of ContentsForward by Dr. Lorraine Freedle; Forward by Doug Braun-Harvey; Preface; How to Use this Book; Part I: Mapping Out the Journey 1.

Taylor & Francis EMDR and Sexual Disorders
Book SynopsisEMDR and Sexual Disorders provides fundamental guidelines for the treatment of sexual dysfunctions with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) within the conceptual framework of attachment theory.This book demonstrates how the EMDR method, which works specifically on the reprocessing of traumatic memories, can be used to addresses the overall well-being of the patient with the goal of restoring a state of 'sexual health'. The goal is not only the absence of dysfunctions and diseases but a general condition of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. After a thorough examination of sexual pathologies and dysfunctions, the authors focus on the traumatic origin of sexual disorders, drawing on extensive clinical experience with victims of abuse and negative attachment stories. A clear and documented picture emerges of how EMDR can provide an innovative and effective contribution to the treatment of pathologies so closely connected to the patientâs p

Taylor & Francis Routledge International Handbook of Sexual
Book SynopsisThe concept of sexual addiction has gained increasing recognition in the academic and healthcare communities since the 1990s. It has also captured the attention of the media, where there has been much debate over whether it can truly be described as an addiction. What is certain is that many people struggle with out of control sexual behaviour, which takes over their lives and has harmful consequences for their relationships, careers and finances.The Routledge International Handbook of Sexual Addiction brings together a comprehensive range of perspectives on sexual addiction from a worldwide selection of scholars and therapists. It sets out to define sexual addiction and to study its causes from a range of different psychological perspectives. A series of presentations of sexual addiction are outlined, including internet sexual addiction and the relationship between paraphilias and sex addiction. The handbook considers both individual and group treatment strTrade Review"This handbook is essential reading for anyone working academically or clinically in the field of sexuality. It is heavyweight in terms of its authorship and its scope and approach to the issues of out of control sexual behaviour, covering behavioural, psychological, social, and neurological contributory processes.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sex Therapy with Erotically Marginalized Clients
Book SynopsisSex Therapy with Erotically Marginalized Clients: Nine Principles of Clinical Support provides a clinical guide to relational sex therapy with individuals, partnerships, polyships, and alternative family structures where one or more of the clients are erotically marginalized. This term refers to people who are at risk of being pathologized and oppressed both outside and inside the clinical setting due to their gender identities, sexual orientations, or sexual practices.The book outlines nine principles for therapeutic practice which meet the needs of erotically marginalized clients, whose forms of sexuality and desire are rarely spoken about and for whom there is a dearth of language in therapeutic contexts. Each principle concludes with a series of key points' and then followed by illustrative clinical case studies, contributed by sex therapists and clinicians who self-identify as erotically marginalized and who also work with erotically marginalized clients. The boTrade Review"This is a game-changing book for sex therapists and other practitioners working across gender, sex, and relationship diversity. It provides a clear framework for working affirmatively with erotically marginalized clients, illustrated by a powerful range of case contributions which highlight the impact of intersecting oppressions and the diversity of client experiences. Principles are helpfully divided into sections focusing on foundations, practice, and systems, which help the reader to explore how they might work ethically and with integrity, for example by naming systemic oppressions, by challenging binary thinking, by emphasizing clients' own narratives, and by practising active allyship within wider communities. An essential addition to any practitioner's reading list. Highly recommended."Meg-John Barker, PhD, author of Queer: A Graphic History, Life Isn't Binary, Mindfulness in Sex and Relationship Therapy, and the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy resource on gender, sexual, and relationship diversity."This is a clinically sophisticated yet highly accessible text. This book explores, in an engaging and in-depth manner, the experiences of and therapeutic principles for working with erotically marginalized clients. A unique and indispensable component of the text is the use of powerful and detailed clinical vignettes, which not only describe clients but also illuminate the therapists’ own process. Practical advice is provided throughout the book—yet this advice is far from a set of simplified steps of ‘what to do.’ Rather, the authors engage the reader in the gritty realness of working as real people with real clients, and their advice is informed by and reflects that realness, in all its messy and complex glory. The contributors are diverse in their intersectional identities and personal and professional experiences, and the style and content of the chapters mirror that diversity. The result is an eclectic collection of perspectives and content, whereby a reader does not necessarily have to read the entire book in order or in its entirety to effectively use and benefit from it. Careful explanation of key terms, and the inclusion of user-friendly clinical resources and forms, are also key features of the book. In sum, this is a rich and interesting resource that clinicians and other professionals will surely find of great interest."Abbie Goldberg, PhD, professor of psychology and Director, Women’s & Gender Studies Program, Clark University"As a psychotherapist and trainer, I am beyond excited that this book is now a resource for our communities. The information is clear, thoughtfully laid out, and fills a much-needed gap in the field.

The author first walks clinicians and readers through a critique of Western culture and the conservative Christian Church, and their effects on intimate partnerships and sexual lives. The book provides clinicians a way to understand the faulty sexual ethic of the early church, while revealing the hidden mystical sex and body positive understanding of sexuality of the Hebrew people. The book also includes chapters on strategies for a new sexual ethic, on clinical steps to heal religious sexual shame, and on specific sex therapy interventions clinicians can use directly in their practice. Finally, it offers a four step model for healing religious sexual shame and actual touch and non-touch exercises to bring healing and intimacy intoTrade Review“Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers’ provocative book addresses the sex-negative doctrine in the conservative Christian church that instills in many people deep shame about their body and discomfort with the opposite sex, making them ill-prepared for marriage. Showing how notions of Christianity and sexuality are complementary, Dr. Sellers offers both therapist and lay reader examples of working with clients to heal the soul-body split, reduce shame, and deepen a couple’s loving connection.”—Stella Resnick, PhD, author, The Heart of Desire: Keys to the Pleasures of Love; couples and sex therapist, private practice, Beverly Hills, CA“This book is powerful medicine for anyone who has ever suffered religious shame about sex. You will find compassion for your dilemmas of conscience, wisdom regarding the teachings of the church, and best of all—explicit practices for opening your mind, nurturing your heart, touching your body, and celebrating the spirit of all that is truly erotic.”—Gina Ogden, PhD, LMFT, author, Expanding the Practice of Sex Therapy and other books"Masterfully integrating psychology and theology, Sellers gives us a groundbreaking, razor-sharp view into conservative Christian culture and its shame-inducing sexual ethic. As a psychologist, I am impressed by the precision, validity and robustness of her research. As a theologian, I am grateful for the Christian sexual ethic—rooted in justice, mutuality, and an infinitely relational God—that she introduces. As a millennial who grew up in the conservative Christian purity culture that Sellers describes, the practices in this book lit my pathway to greater freedom from shame and more authentic connection to God, myself, and others. I hope therapists and Christian leaders— pastors, parents, and youth workers—will read this insightful book with an open mind."—Christena Cleveland, PhD, Duke Divinity School“This is an enlightening, well-written, and clinically useful book on the problems and potential of conservative Christianity for clients dealing with sexual problems. Tina Sellers is uniquely positioned to make this unique contribution to therapy for a population often misunderstood by clinicians. Whether you’re new to the field or highly experienced, I promise you'll learn a lot.”—William J. Doherty, PhD, professor, director, Minnesota Couples on the Brink Project, University of Minnesota; author, Take Back Your Marriage.“Most clinical programs—whether they are based in psychology or marriage and family therapy, social work or medicine, pastoral counseling, or any number of other fields in the “helping professions”—do not adequately prepare trainees to work with individuals or couples who have been indoctrinated with Church-driven messages of sexual guilt and shame. As a therapist and educator, I have struggled to find resources that help guide clients on a path in healing and growth—and to do this in a way that simultaneously embraces their sexuality(ies) and religious/spiritual faith. The wisdom and counsel that Dr. Tina Sellers offers in this book should be in every training curriculum, on every providers’ bookshelf, and in every couple’s home.”--Tai J. Mendenhall, PhD, LMFT, Couple and Family Therapy Program, The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities "This book is a practical and yet deeply theological path towards healing for those wounded by a shame-based purity culture. Dr. Schermer Sellers researched and written a roadmap towards a sex-positive Gospel ethic of intimacy. I will be recommending it to pastors and counsellors and teachers everywhere.”—Sarah Bessey, author; Jesus Feminist and Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving FaithTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Child Sexual Abuse: Media Representations and
Book SynopsisChild Sexual Abuse critically evaluates the development of policy and legislative measures to control sex offenders. The last fifteen years has seen increasing concern on the part of the government, criminal justice agencies, the media and the public, regarding child sexual abuse. This concern has been prompted by a series of events including cases inviting media attention and involving the abduction, sexual abuse and murder of young children. The response to this wave of child sexual abuse revelation has been to introduce increasingly punitive legislation regarding the punishment and control of sex offenders (sex offenders are the only group of offenders in British legal history to have their own act), both in custody and in the community. But this response, it is argued here, has developed in a reactionary way to media and public anxiety regarding the punishment and control of sex offenders (who have abused children) and the perceived threat of such offenders in the community.Table of ContentsDefining Child Sexual Abuse.

Mariner Books Reckoning The Epic Battle Against Sexual Abuse
Book SynopsisThe first history—incisive, witty, fascinating—of the fight against sexual harassment, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Sisters in LawLinda Hirshman, acclaimed historian of social movements, delivers the sweeping story of the struggle leading up to #MeToo and beyond: from the first tales of workplace harassment percolating to the surface in the 1970s to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal—when liberal women largely forgave Clinton, giving men a free pass for two decades. Many liberals even resisted the movement to end rape on campus. And yet, legal, political, and cultural efforts, often spearheaded by women of color, were quietly paving the way for the takedown of abusers and harassers. Reckoning delivers the stirring tale of a movement catching fire as pioneering women in the media exposed the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, women flooded the political landscape, and the walls of male privilege finally began to crack. This is revelatory, essential social history.
