- Summary
- "This book offers an introduction to human sexuality in the context of health and social care practice. Drawing on research in the social sciences, cultural studies and social policy, it presents a concise summary of current theories of sexual orientation, discusses the growth of contemporary lesbian and gay communities, and reveals the prejudice and discrimination which still exist." "The book is written at an introductory level, but in enough depth to be a useful reference for practising health professionals as well as trainees."--Jacket.
