Disability and Sexual Health: A Critical Exploration of Key Issues: Critical Approaches to Health
Autor Poul Rohleder, Stine Hellum Braathen, Mark Carewen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iul 2018
Illustrated by research drawn from a range of international contexts, Disability and Sexual Health: A Critical Exploration of Key Issues is the first to examine this important but seldom acknowledged issue. Beginning with an understanding of how both disability and sexuality are socially defined phenomena, the book discusses the implications for the sexual health of people with disabilities, from sexual health education and access to information to STDs and possible sexual exploitation. The book concludes with a chapter recommending inclusive practice in line with the aims of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities.
Disability and Sexual Health will be important reading for researchers and students in health psychology, critical psychology and the psychology of sexuality, gender, disability and nursing. It will also be of interest to professionals working with people with disabilities in health care and social work.

Recenzii
"Over 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability—15% of the world’s population—yet issues relating to their sexual and reproductive health are rarely addressed. In this landmark publication leading researchers explore a range of cutting-edge topics of immediate and long term relevance to those working in the arena of public health, psychology, social justice and disability advocacy. Comprehensive, engaging, readable, and providing a global overview, this book should be on the bookshelf of anyone—and everyone—dealing with sexual and reproductive health." - Nora Ellen Groce, University College London, UK
"This very helpful and progressive book discusses topics such as sex education, HIV, and barriers to receiving appropriate sexual and reproductive health care, from a global perspective. It will be of particular value to sexual health workers, advocates and campaigners, and to researchers. For a long time, I have been waiting for a book like this: it is a book which everyone should learn from, in order to take the next steps towards barrier removal." - Tom Shakespeare, University of East Anglia, UK
"In Disability and Sexual Health, the oppression of stigma and taboo collides with the empowerment of rights, positive identities and actionable ideas. The result is an authoritative, engaging and globally resonant read, that is, quite simply, the best source on the topic." - Mac MacLachlan, Maynooth University, Ireland
