The first peer-reviewed book of its kind, this important volume addresses a current gap in the field of gestalt therapy: that the practice—and psychotherapy more broadly—still suffers from pervasive hetero- and cis-normativity. This book offers gestalt-therapy-based research and training material on gender, sex, and relationship diversity (GSRD), including chapters on a variety of GSRD issues and how therapists can become more GSRD-sensitive. The contributors position themselves across the whole spectrum of GSRD and offer their voices as an invitation to further queer the gestalt community with diverse content ranging from academic, research-oriented pieces to experiential, reflective perspectives. Featured chapters explore topics including gender-radical clients, sex and sexuality, relationship diversity, integrating GSRD and gestalt therapy, and addressing heteronormativity in gestalt therapy training. Queering Gestalt Therapy is for everyone who is interested in gender, sex, and relationship diversity, especially as they relate to gestalt therapy practice. This book will be especially useful for therapists, supervisors, coaches, and students of gestalt therapy.
Er prostitusjon vold mot kvinner, eller er det kroppsarbeid som bør respekteres? Salg av seksuelle tjenester er et tema som vekker sterke følelser, og debatten blir ofte opphetet og polarisert. Både «offeret» og «den lykkelige hore» tas til inntekt for de dominerende stemmene i debatten. Debatten berører også temaer som sosial nød, migrasjon og fattigdom. Hvorfor er det så vanskelig å snakke nyansert om disse tingene? Og hvorfor blir de ulike meningsmotstanderne så steile når alle ser ut til å kjempe for det samme, nemlig mest mulig respekt og minst mulig lidelse for dem det gjelder? Andrés Lekanger (f. 1986) har tidligere vært medhjelper og skribent for tidsskriftet Albertine, som utgis av prostituertes interesseorganisasjon i Norge (PION). Han arbeider på sprøyterommet i Oslo og som feltarbeider i PION
Arbeiderpartiet tapte valget i 2013. Bare noen måneder etterpå kommer denne boken, som hevder for at Ap må modernisere seg kraftig for å være Norges viktigste politiske parti også i fremtiden. Den fremste verdien til et sosialdemokratisk parti er å gi den enkelte så mye makt over eget liv som mulig, skriver Aksel Braanen Sterri. Skal Arbeiderpartiet oppnå det, må de tenke nytt. Mer valgfrihet i skolen og ordnede forhold for sexarbeidere må kombineres med en pensjonsreform som sikrer sliterne den alderdommen de har krav på. Arbeiderpartiet skal legge til rette for folks livsvalg, ikke dominere dem. Aksel Braanen Sterri er en uavhengig, ung sosialdemokratisk stemme, som blant annet har markert seg som leder av den sosialdemokratiske tenketanken Progressiv.

This new collection explores for the first time male sex work from a rich array of perspectives and disciplines. It aims to help enrich the ways in which we view both male sex work as a field of commerce and male sex worker themselves. Leading contributors examine the field both historically and cross-culturally from fields including public health, sociology, psychology, social services, history, filmography, economics, mental health, criminal justice, geography, and migration studies, and more. Synthesizing introductions by the editors help the reader understand the implications of the findings and conclusions for scholars, practitioners, students, and members of the interested/concerned public.

Indonesia suffered an explosion of religious violence, ethnic violence, separatist violence, terrorism, and violence by criminal gangs, the security forces and militias in the late 1990s and early 2000s. By 2002 Indonesia had the worst terrorism problem of any nation. All these forms of violence have now fallen dramatically. How was this accomplished? What drove the rise and the fall of violence? Anomie theory is deployed to explain these developments. Sudden institutional change at the time of the Asian financial crisis and the fall of President Suharto meant the rules of the game were up for grabs. Valerie Braithwaite's motivational postures theory is used to explain the gaming of the rules and the disengagement from authority that occurred in that era. Ultimately resistance to Suharto laid a foundation for commitment to a revised, more democratic, institutional order. The peacebuilding that occurred was not based on the high-integrity truth-seeking and reconciliation that was the normative preference of these authors. Rather it was based on non-truth, sometimes lies, and yet substantial reconciliation. This poses a challenge to restorative justice theories of peacebuilding.
