Individual sexuality represents the cumulative effects of biological, psychological, and cultural influences. Yet much of the study of sexuality--including issues ranging from sexual identity to sexual response--has been conducted through a Western lens. Although a substantial body of work in anthropology has taken up the study of human sexuality from a cross-cultural perspective, two points are notable. First, this work seldom crosses the desks of medical and psychological health practitioners, and second, the relevance of specific cultural differences is rarely apparent to the typical sexual health practitioner. To address this situation, this book adopts a global perspective, focusing on how cultural practices and values can impact health care, treatment, and outcomes. In this regard, it covers three broad domains: Sexual Identity and Orientation; Sexual Response and Dysfunction; and Sexual Diversity. Each chapter consists of two parts: a general description of the relevant issues, and a discussion of how these issues can be relevant to clinical practice. The book offers a valuable, practical tool for specialists in sexual medicine and sexual psychology, for sexual healthcare givers, and for sexological researchers who want to better serve their patients by developing an awareness of and sensitivity to cultural differences, and by providing a framework for dealing with issues of sexuality and sexual health that takes cultural values into consideration, while adhering to best practices in patient care. 000928552 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000928552 650_0 $$aSexual health. 000928552 650_0 $$aSex instruction. 000928552 7001_ $$aRowland, David$$q(David L.) 000928552 7001_ $$aJannini, Emmanuele A. 000928552 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRowland, David L.$$tCultural Differences and the Practice of Sexual Medicine : A Guide for Sexual Health Practitioners$$dCham : Springer,c2020$$z9783030362218 000928552 830_0 $$aTrends in andrology and sexual medicine. 000928552 852__ $$bebk 000928552 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-36222-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000928552 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:928552$$pGLOBAL_SET 000928552 980__ $$aEBOOK 000928552 980__ $$aBIB 000928552 982__ $$aEbook 000928552 983__ $$aOnline 000928552 994__ $$a92$$bISE
