Designed to shed light on sexually unusual expression, this unique book will assist helping professionals in their treatments and referrals of persons with sexually unusual life styles and behaviors. Based on the premise, “First, do no harm,” The Sexually Unusual is targeted for all helping professionals with little or no academic or clinical training in sexuality, who encounter clients involved in coercive and non-coercive unusual sexual behaviors. The vast majority of helping professionals, from all disciplines, who have had neither academic nor clinical training in addressing sex-related concerns, will find sensible and empathetic approaches to working with the sexually unusual--pedophiles, obscene phone callers, transvestites, transsexuals, exhibitionists, sexual addicts, and more. A historical perspective broadens the reader's view and displays the evolving and unfolding nature of the human condition.

This review is from: Sexually Unusual: A Guide to Understanding and Helping (Paperback)
Too many therapists who have little knowledge of the behaviors in question nonetheless attempt to treat individuals who engage in sexually unusual behavior. This book is both a primer and a warning. It shows therapists how their eyes must be open and non-judgemental if they are to be of any help at all. In my private practice, I often lend this book to clients to derive the benefit of its understanding as we mutually explore the behaviors in question. Sargent's chapter is an absolute gem.
