Gender and Sexuality News:
Men, Addiction, and Intimacy
In the substance abuse and addiction treatment realm, males outnumber females two to one.
While gender-issues are seen as a key element of women’s treatment, the acknowledgement that males are "gendered beings" who have lived lives full of male-specific developmental challenges is often overlooked.
This text takes a developmental lifespan approach to examine the neurobiological and psychosocial factors associated with substance use disorders for males, specifically in relation to emotional growth and awareness, and how these areas, in turn, affect the development of healthy relationships.

Sexual Awareness
In the newest edition of this classic text, veteran authors Barry and Emily McCarthy explain how desire, pleasure, and satisfaction can enrich your relationship.
As the premier book on the subject, Sexual Awareness focuses on factors that promote and subvert healthy couple sexuality.
Reading this book and partaking in the psychosocial skill exercises it contains will help couples learn how to value sexuality as a positive and satisfying part of their lives.
Tough Guys and True Believers
Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room, being demanding, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced.
This book will be a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these authoritarian men, offering an understanding of them and an empirically supported set of recommendations to work with them effectively.
In the first part, Robertson explores what an authoritarian male is and how he came to be that way, and describes the different types: Tough Guys, which include the abusive partner and the workplace bully, and True Believers, the zealous follower and the messenger from God.
New Directions in Sex Therapy
New Directions in Sex Therapy: Innovations and Alternatives focuses on cutting-edge, therapy paradigms as alternatives to conventional clinical strategies.
With each passing year, the treatment of sexual problems seems to emphasize more medical and pharmacological interventions.
There is correspondingly less interest in the experiences of the individuals or couples involved. This book expands the definition of our field. Part I highlights the major problems and criticisms facing sex therapy and furnishes a rationale for new directions.

A Pilot Evaluation of Older Adolescents' Sexual Reference Displays on Facebook

‘Adolescence’, Pregnancy and Abortion: Constructing a Threat of Degeneration
Routledge congratulates Professor Catriona Macleod whose book ‘Adolescence’, Pregnancy and Abortion: Constructing a Threat of Degeneration has been awarded the 2011 Distinguished Publication Award of the Association for Women in Psychology!
The Distinguished Publication Award (DPA) recognizes works that make significant and substantial contributions to research and theory that advance our understanding of the psychology of women and that promote the achievement of the goals of the Association for Women in Psychology.
‘Adolescence’, Pregnancy and Abortion: Constructing a Threat of Degeneration asks why, despite evidence to the contrary, does the narrative of the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy, abortion and childbearing persist? The author argues that the negativity surrounding early reproduction is underpinned by a particular understanding of adolescence, and traces the invention of "adolescence" and the imaginary wall that the notion constructs between young people and adults.

Individualizing Gender and Sexuality
Nancy Chodorow, in her groundbreaking book The Reproduction of Mothering, quite simply changed the conversation in at least three areas of study: psychoanalysis, women's studies, and sociology.
In her latest book, Individualizing Gender and Sexuality, she examines the complexity and uniqueness of each person's personal creation of sexuality and gender and the ways that these interrelate with other aspects of psychic and cultural life.
She brings her well-known theoretical agility, wide-ranging interdisciplinarity, and clinical experience to every chapter, advocating for the clinician's openness, curiosity, and theoretical pluralism.
