This seminal book is the original and definitive text presenting gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD) therapy as its own therapeutic approach rather than simply a set of techniques or “add on” to other modalities in working with LGBTQ+ clients and other marginalised populations.
This edited volume draws on the expertise of international clinicians who offer contemporary perspectives as well as modernising traditional psychotherapeutic theories. The book introduces the modality by explaining the essence of GSRD therapy: its history, philosophy and theories, as well as what it is used for and how it is practiced. It sets the landscape for GSRD therapy, centred on its seven core components. It focuses on specific populations and themes that are prevalent in the GSRD communities, yet often not written about or discussed in core clinical training, such as working with queer and trans young people, parenting, working with serious mental health difficulties, and ageing and the end of life. It also covers topics such as neurodivergence, self-harm, and body image.

Erotically Queer is a practice guide for clinicians, bringing together experts in their field with pioneering topics within GSRD (Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity).
Chapters cover an array of topics rarely covered in either clinical or popular literature including lesbian sex, queer menopause, bisexuality, the sex lives of asexuals, sexuality and transgender people, treating anodyspareunia, compulsive sexual behaviours and Chemsex. It also helps practitioners reflect on their biases regarding BDSM/Kink and understand more regarding non-pathologising practices with intersex people.
The book aims to help all clinicians work more effectively with the Queer population, with the most contemporary sexological knowledge.

This book is a deep dive into sexual and erotic diversity. It includes the vast range of sexual and erotic orientations to help us challenge our preconceived ideas about sexuality and eroticism. It encourages us to think outside of the heteronormative narratives and opens our minds to the wide variety of ways people live their lives.
Sexual Diversity: Being Human through Understanding and Acceptance is an in-depth exploration of the vast diversity of sexual and erotic orientations, including heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer identities, as well as erotic diversity from vanilla to kink and everything in between. The book looks at the heteronormative ‘norms’ prescribed by society and how these may be problematic for all populations, including heterosexual people. As part of diversity, the book offers a frame of thinking based on intersectionality.

Compulsive Sexual Behaviours offers a unique approach to the struggles people face with their out-of-control sexual behaviours.
This comprehensive guide is deeply rooted in the science of sexology and psychotherapy, demonstrating why it is time to re-think the reductive concept of ‘sex addiction’ and move towards a more modern age of evidence-based, pluralistic and sex-positive psychotherapy. It is an important manual for ethical, safe and efficient treatment within a humanistic and relational philosophy.
This book will be an important guide in helping clients stop their compulsive sexual behaviours as well as for therapists to self-reflect on their own morals and ethics so that they can be prepared to explore their clients’ erotic mind.

he Routledge International Handbook of Sexual Compulsivity and Clinical Sexology is a cutting-edge and comprehensive guide to understanding compulsive sexual behaviours in-depth in the 21st century.
Drawing on classic conceptualisations as well as the most recent research, the handbook evaluates and critiques undue pathologisation of diverse sexual behaviours, as well as identifying areas of concern for thorough assessment and treatment. It centres on the knowledge of clinical sexology and includes discussions around the diagnostic criteria of compulsive sexual behaviour disorder by the ICD-11 (WHO), filling the gaps of previous sex addiction information with up-to-date scientific knowledge. It promotes multiple therapeutic modalities for treatment and considers perspectives from populations who have historically been harmed by pseudo-diagnosis, such as LGBTQ+ people and sex workers. All this takes place within a sex-positive lens, with robust ethical consideration, as well as curiosity and cultural humility. This handbook is a significant contribution to the literature on sexual compulsivity research and clinical practice, particularly in including diverse populations, erotic orientations, sexual minorities, and effective therapeutic methods. Topics include debating sex addiction vs compulsive sexual behaviours, pornography-related distress, compulsive sexual behaviours and trauma, kink-informed therapy, and more.
This handbook is essential to psychologists, psychotherapists, sexologists, sex therapists, and psychiatrists. It will be useful for individual practitioners, students and researchers in clinical sexology worldwide.
