To best provide services to an increasingly diverse population, psychotherapists need to expand the range and scope of treatment. Since sexuality is one very important dimension on which people from various cultures differ, psychotherapists need to be aware of the sexual values, problems and concerns diverse clients will present with. Using case material presented by distinguished authorities in the fields of psychotherapy, sex therapy, couples therapy and family therapy, this edited book addresses issues in sexuality that are often raised in psychotherapy (individual, marital and family therapy) across diverse cultures.
