The Challenge of Sexuality in Health Care

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the range of issues and concerns related to sexuality and health care. It describes the normal processes and issues which arise at different stages in a person's life connected with sexuality, and goes on to describe the particular issues and concerns which arise when there is illness or disfigurement. The book is focused to reflect the undergraduate programme which considers the normal healthy state across the lifespan, going on to cover specific illness-related issues. This book will provide nurses with detailed information on the psychosocial issues surrounding sexuality and thereby give them the confidence to encourage patients/clients to raise any concerns they might have.
