Overview

This is an introduction to the theory and practice of psychosexual care which would come under the remit of the healthcare professional. The book's focus is on recognition of spoken and unspoken needs in caring for sexuality in health and illness and the role of the healthcare professional in promoting sexual health. Issues of sensitivity, the professional's and the patient's anxieties, and the need for careful listening are addressed; patient concerns and practitioner concerns are addressed side by side. An emphasis on appropriate training is included in the book, through a section on coaching and its practical implementation.
