Reviews
Sex, Social Justice, and Intimacy in Mental Health Practice identifies the lack of sexual health education in graduate school training programs as a social justice issue. The author challenges the mental health field to create greater access to sexual health services, services that have historically been reserved only for the privileged. Sharing information, cases, and activities from her years of work as both a clinician/sex therapist and an educator, Martinez-Gilliard offers a comprehensive guide to sexual health competency that is a must for any training program wanting to prepare its students to meet the holistic needs of clients and to create a healthier society. Prem Pahwa, LMSW, CST; Director of The University of Michigan Sexual Health Certificate Program In a world where mental health is often seen as completely separate from sexuality, this book opens to the door, welcoming mental health professionals towards recognizing sexuality and supportive treatment of such as a crucial part of practice. Bridging previous work across sexuality, psychology, social work, and other allied fields, Erin Martinez-Gilliard offers an intentional and compassionate guide to everything from building rapport that allows for talk about sexuality to diagnosing sexual challenges, plus a bevy of potential tools and intervention options alongside case studies to support a deeper understanding of how to utilize them. Shanna K. Kattari, PhD, MEd, CSE, ACS; Associate Professor, University of Michigan; Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs
