The contributors draw on their own professional and personal experiences, integrating current literature and candid discussion to critically engage readers in strategically challenging the barriers to openly and honestly discussing sex and sexuality.""--Sheri M. McConnell, School of Social Work, Memorial University ""This collection makes an extremely important contribution to the higher education literature on teaching about sex and sexualities. The eighteen chapters, written by an interdisciplinary list of experts, cover a range of critically important issues for faculty members and students preparing to become social workers or other kinds of human and psychiatric services professionals.
