Social Work and Child Sexual Abuse
Here is an indispensable book highlighting information on the problem of child sexual abuse for anyone concerned with the welfare of young children. Focusing on the social worker’s role in responding to the abuse of children, this highly practical volume assesses the state of knowledge about sexual abuse. It includes reviews of the historical context in which sexual abuse takes place and sheds light on issues surrounding the professional’s responses to sexual abuse, alternative models of sexual abuse treatment programs, and practice knowledge developments. The contributors have also addressed a number of clinical issues including family treatment and social work treatment at a juvenile court, as well as the role of the courts and the problem of sexual abuse and sexual education in child-caring institutions.
Human Sexuality in Medical Social Work
Particularly valuable to social workers and health care personnel, this timely volume offers practical guidelines and unique treatment approaches to use with clients who have sex-related problems.

Treatment In Crisis Situtions
"Treatment Approaches in the Human Services" is a new series of books by distinguished social work practitioners and educators, prepared under the general editorship of Francis J. Turner. Its objective is to present both the theoretical basis and the direct practice implications of the various thought systems upon which clinicians draw in their work, and to make this rich accumulation of theory and methods accessible not only to social workers but to practitioners in other helping professions as well. The books are also intended for the student-professional, the senior scholar, and the teacher of professionals, providing a bridging resource between practice and theory development. Each volume in the series analyzes the conceptual base of a particular intervention strategy or set of therapeutic procedures, identifies its theoretical origins, compares it to other thought systems, and explains and describes in concrete detail how it is applied in practice. Further, it identifies the areas of on-going and needed research to make that approach an even more useful tool to the clinician.

The Sexually Unusual
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.
Treatment of Sex Offenders in Social Work and Mental Health Settings
This timely book focuses on social work practice with sexual offenders in community mental health settings. Practicing professionals and academicians present both theoretical and empirical material covering three major classifications--the incest offender, the violent offender, and the social decency offender. Because today's sexual offenders are often turned away from psychiatric hospitals and instead served in open community centers, professionals in mental health centers and related human service agencies must be prepared to treat them. In this remarkably candid and instructive volume, experts equip psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other professionals in mental health settings with valid, up-to-date techniques for working with sexually aggressive children, mentally retarded sex offenders, and incest families.

Chapters address the ever-present problem of homophobia, new strategies for working with families and couples, alcoholism and homosexuality, the education of social workers about gay men and lesbians--their particular needs and concerns, and much more.
