Book Synopsis Sexual Identities and Sexuality in Social Work by : Dr Priscilla Dunk-West
Download or read book Sexual Identities and Sexuality in Social Work written by Dr Priscilla Dunk-West and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexuality and sexual identity have been relatively marginalized areas in both social work education and practice. However, changes in policy and legislation in the UK and other countries over the past decade have brought discussions of sexuality into the mainstream public service agenda. In social work and social care, gay and lesbian citizenship rights have been explicitly recognised. In the fields of adoption and fostering new regulations and guidance have helped improve and develop practice around assessment and intervention. It remains the case, however, that sex is often perceived as a problem area within social work and social care, discussed only in relation to sexually diverse communities or in the realm of dysfunction or pathology. This collection aims to generate a more proactive and challenging discussion of sexuality and sexual identity in social work. Its starting point is that sexuality is an essential aspect of individual identity, that users must be able to express their sexuality, and that it is essential for social workers to be able to respond and discuss sexual issues appropriately. The contributions are informed by feminist research, considering, in particular, the experiences of women working in and using social care services since the 1990s. In addition to a consideration of the wider policy, legislative and service providers' perspectives, the book includes reflective accounts as well as research-led contributions, offering a comprehensive and balanced account of this important field, which aims to inform both theory and practice.
Book Synopsis Sexuality & Ageing by : Walter Pierre Bouman
Download or read book Sexuality & Ageing written by Walter Pierre Bouman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, both in developed and developing countries, the population is rapidly ageing. In the fields of sexual and relationship therapy and sexual health, ageing has not been an issue of priority. Too often, ageing is thought of as a process that relates to problems, deficits, and taboos, and less to pleasure, change, growth and diversity. It is treated as a separate life stage and not a process throughout the lifecycle. Sexuality and sexual health are important parts of the lives of older people, as they have a significant impact on quality of life, psychological well-being and physical health, as well as social and family life. This book brings together contributions from those currently writing on and researching ageing as it relates, in a therapeutic context, to gender identity, to sex and sexuality, and to intimate relationships. This book was originally published as a special issue of Sexual and Relationship Therapy.
Book Synopsis Powers of Horror by : Julia Kristeva
Download or read book Powers of Horror written by Julia Kristeva and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Powers of Horror, Julia Kristeva offers an extensive and profound consideration of the nature of abjection. Drawing on Freud and Lacan, she analyzes the nature of attitudes toward repulsive subjects and examines the function of these topics in the writings of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and other authors. Kristeva identifies the abject with the eruption of the real and the presence of death. She explores how art and religion each offer ways of purifying the abject, arguing that amid abjection, boundaries between subject and object break down.

Download or read book Wrinklies Puzzle Book written by Matthew Donegan and published by Prion. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you get older, it becomes more and more vital to keep your brain regularly exercised. Science has recently confirmed that brainpower works in much the same way as muscle power - if you work it, it gets stronger, and if you ignore it, it gets weaker. This is known as brain plasticity. It's of particular importance to people who might be at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Several recent studies have shown that mental exercise is a key component in preventing mental decline, even in cases where the brain is actually being attacked. Puzzles offer a vital opportunity to keep the mind lean, fit and functioning properly.
