Opis

This book examines the relationship between sexuality, sexual identities and intimacies and the lifecourse and showcases a range of issues pertinent to social work through these particular lenses. It opens up new possibilities for better understanding sexuality in social work, and contains empirical work and theorising about sexuality, intimacy and gender not currently found in a traditional course on lifecourse theory and practice. Until now, sexuality has been treated as a specialist topic or area of specialist social work practice. This book contends that it cuts across all areas of the discipline.
