Paperback. Condition: Good. Sexuality is an important area of clients' lives yet it is often neglected, both in the consulting room and in training. This book examines issues of sexuality in a positive and affirming light and considers how sexuality-related issues can be introduced into therapy and training.

Each chapter in the book focuses on a specific topic with areas covered including: sexual diversity across the lifespan health and disability sexual and gender minority issues how culture and sexuality interact.

In 1934, an exhibition of his work was held in Moscow. Yekhezkel Dobrushin (1883?1953) was a ?literary researcher, playwright, poet, and prose author, born in the village of Mutyn, Ukraine?In 1902 he moved abroad, studied there in the free Russian high school, and subsequently continued his education at the Sorbonne? where he passed his law faculty exams. ?He was chairman of the Parisian organization of the Socialist Zionist Party? and ?returned home in 1909.In 1916 he settled in Kiev. In 1917 he was active in the united socialist party. He was one of the founders of the ?Kultur-lige? (Culture league), as well as a member of its central committee and its executive bureau. He was a teacher of Yiddish literature in the Jewish state people?s university, in the teachers? seminary, and in other higher educational institutions. He began his literary activities in Hebrew in Hatsfira (The siren), and in Yiddish in Vokhnblat (Weekly newspaper) edited by Hillel Tsaytlin. From 1920 he was living in Moscow where he was active in local Jewish cultural institutions. He was secretary of the first Jewish writers? organization in Moscow. Having received the title of professor, he gave lectures at the University for Nationalities of the West, in the academy for education, in the Jewish state chamber theater, in the theatrical studio of the Kultur-lige, and in the Jewish section of the Second Moscow University [now, Moscow State Pedagogical University], among others? He took an active part in publishing and editing the publications of the ?Kultur-lige?: [including] the children?s magazines?; Bikher-velt (Book world) in 1919; the journal Shtrom (Current) in Moscow in 1922-1924; Yungvald (Young forest) in 1924-1927; the anthology Sovetish (Soviet) in 1934-1941; and the Moscow newspaper Eynikeyt(Unity), 1942-1948. He wrote on the topic of the Yiddish classical writers and about Soviet Yiddish writers from the oldest to the youngest. As a playwright he accomplished much for the Yiddish State Theater in Moscow.
