This indispensable guide empowers mental health clinicians to seamlessly integrate discussions of sexuality into their therapeutic practice, dismantling the barriers that often leave this vital aspect of patients’ lives unaddressed.

Through compelling case studies, Kathryn S. K. Hall illustrates how core therapeutic skills such as empathy and active listening can be effectively employed to navigate sexual topics with confidence and sensitivity. Clinicians will learn how to introduce and respond to discussions about sex, maintain professional boundaries, and address common issues such as shame, desire discrepancies, sexual trauma, and atypical sexual interests.

Whether the therapy is for individuals or couples, this book equips practitioners with the foundational knowledge and practical strategies necessary to incorporate sexuality into ongoing treatment. By doing so, clinicians can enhance patient outcomes and cultivate deeper, more meaningful therapeutic relationships.
