Description
The focus on intersectionality and social justice is unique to this textbook and should be the reason for adoption consideration. Through these chapters, along with the journal and reflective activities, Kriofske highlights the importance of addressing sexuality, first as individuals and then as clinicians, with all clients and students in a candid and relatable manner. Michelle E. Wade, EdD., University of New Orleans "In Sex and Sexuality Handbook for the Helping Professional, Dr. Alexandra Kriofske Mainella has provided counselor educators with the materials they need to incorporate valuable skills related to sexual wellness into the courses they teach to counseling trainees. Preservice school counselors as well as clinical mental health counselors will find important guidance on developing the necessary self-awareness, knowledge, skills, and appropriate attitudes to engage in meaningful discussions with the individuals and communities they serve on issues related to sexual wellness."
