"Given its practical bent and breadth of scope, this book would be of relevance to students, professionals and curious lay readers from a range of perspectives. It would also function as a useful starting point for those interested in social and sexual relationships within any of the countries discussed. Although largely designed to be read as stand-alone essays or chapters, in its entirety it also serves to raise important questions about the role of cultural contexts in any sexual or relationship intervention."- Rosie Buckland, Feminist and Women’s Studies Association
"This important book, The Cultural Context of Sexual Pleasure and Problems: Psychotherapy With Diverse Clients, edited by Kathryn Hall and Cynthia Graham, builds a bridge between two important subdisciplines that each warrant more attention than they currently receive. Hall and Graham’s book is one of the few in the field to explicitly tackle cultural differences in sexual behavior and sexual relationships. The Cultural Context of Sexual Pleasure and Problems has much to offer." – Sherry L. Hamby, PsycCritiques
“Rather than pay academic lip service to the importance of culture in sexuality, Hall & Graham have gone directly to the source. They present us with an enlightening array of perspectives from across the world and, in so doing, shake us out of our complacent assumptions about what sex and sex therapy is or should be. This book is a unique and important contribution to a field that has for too long avoided the challenges and opportunities that an awareness of diversity delivers.” - Marta Meana, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas and President of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research
“No professional dealing with sexuality in multi-cultural communities can afford to ignore this book. This volume takes culture and sexuality out of the realm of theory and research and makes it directly relevant to the clinician.” - Irv Binik, PhD, Department of Psychology, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
“This text is unique, fascinating, beautifully written, carefully edited, and incredibly useful. It describes culturally competent approaches to interventions in human sexual concerns in countries as diverse as Iran, India, Cameron, China, the United States, and Europe. With global migration, the United States and Western Europe are becoming increasingly multicultural making this text a necessary addition to the library of all clinicians treating sexual difficulties.” - Robert Taylor Segraves, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, Emeritus, Case Western Reserve University; Editor, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy
“At last, a book for clinicians that examines, in specifically located chapters, how sexual pleasure, sexual relationships, sex therapy, and sex life itself only exist in cultural context. The best sexology books have always taken a broad view, and Hall and Graham will now be added to that shelf.” - Leonore Tiefer, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine
“Hall and Graham display the growing scope of intercultural diversity of sex therapy beyond the US-dominated approaches with a comprehensive and carefully edited collection of highly professional contributions. Superb book!” - Ulrich Clement, PhD, Director, Institute of Sex Therapy Heidelberg, Associate Professor for Medical Psychology, Medical School, University of Heidelberg, Germany
“Finally! An authoritative reference on cultural competency for sex therapists! The editors take us on a trip around the world, with case studies and thoughtful analysis that illuminate cultural considerations affecting sexuality. This book is a fascinating read, and one of vital important to sex therapists.” - Bill Taverner, MA, CSE, Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of Sexuality Education; Executive Director, The Center for Family Life Education
Using rich case material and research presented by distinguished authorities in the fields of sex, couple, family, and psychotherapy, this edited book contributes to our efforts to help individuals and couples increase their sexual satisfaction. The authors explore social and cultural backgrounds, the meaning of sexual problems in specific cultural contexts, and the way in which culture presents challenges to traditional psychotherapy. More importantly, they answer the question: should therapists accept any and all behaviors, values, and attitudes that are considered normal, even if they violate the therapist’s own cultural standards? The case studies identify challenging cultural issues and provide clinicians with culturally sensitive treatment options. The book’s sections also separate chapters based on the degree to which psychological treatments are recognized and utilized for dealing with sexual problems in different countries, making it an ideal reference for professionals and students. The concluding chapter looks at culture through the lens of the provider, rather than the patient, and ties together the major themes and questions posed.
