Aprašymas

This book equips therapists with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate solo sexual wellness in their practice, address the unique needs of individuals, and foster a positive and holistic approach to embodied sexuality.

Edited by Dr. Rosara Torrisi with contributions from leaders in the field, this volume offers theoretical perspectives, practical techniques, case studies, and insights into diverse sexual identities, empowering therapists to foster holistic, embodied sexuality for solo clients. While traditional approaches have centered on couples, this groundbreaking guide shifts the focus to individual sexual wellness, providing therapists with essential tools to help clients explore, heal, and grow outside of partner-based relationships. It highlights how Senate Focus techniques can be adapted for solo exploration, offering an inclusive perspective that caters to diverse sexual identities and therapeutic contexts. Chapters cover historical perspectives on Sensate Focus therapy, the benefits of solo sexual exploration, mindfulness and sensory engagement for solo clients, desire building and fantasy development, addressing pelvic and sexual pain, as well as cultural and ethical considerations for clinicians. With guidance and case studies throughout, as well as detailed exercises to help individuals (re)connect with their bodies, this book seamlessly combines theoretical and practical elements for easy implementation in clinical practice.

This is an essential resource for sex therapists, sexuality educators, counselors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and students in these fields. It is also helpful for practitioners looking to broaden their understanding of sexual wellness beyond couple-based approaches.
