Sexuality and Social Work



October 2007 | 168 pages | Learning Matters
Sexuality remains a neglected and largely taboo area within practice, but it can be a demanding aspect of social work. Social workers may be familiar with the importance of issues such as racism and ethnicity, but sexuality is also a very significant part of people's lives, closest relationships and sense of identity. This valuable resource introduces the topic, using a combination of perspectives to consider sexual diversity and examining related issues across the life course, including sexual orientation, disability, HIV, sexual abuse, mental health and sexual exploitation.

This is a valuable read for both students and lecturers alike. A very useful teaching resource giving details of perspectives to consider sexual diversity and examining related issues across the life course, including sexual orientation, disability, HIV, sexual abuse, mental health and sexual exploitation. A recommended read for anyone studying or teaching equality, diversity and rights in health and social care.

I recommended this book at the time- I no longer teach this course. However, this remains an accessible resource in a poorly sourced topic.
