The sexual revolution: an evocative term, but what meaning can be given to it today? How does 'sexuality' come into being and what connections does it have with the changes that have affected personal life on a more general plane? In answering these questions, Anthony Giddens disputes many of the dominant interpretations of the role of sexuality in modern culture. The emergence of what the author calls plastic sexuality - sexuality freed from its intrinsic relation to reproduction - is analysed in terms of the long-term development of the modern social order and social influences of the last few decades. Giddens argues that the transformation of intimacy, in which women have played the major part, holds out the possibility of a radical democratization of the personal sphere. This book will appeal to a large general audience as well as being essential reading for students and professionals.

IT'S NOT JUST SEX. IT'S NOT JUST LOVE. IT'S SOMETHING MORE.... But what could be better than sex? How about lovemaking that sweeps people into new realities, producing altered states of consciousness a thousand times more powerful than the most earth-shattering orgasm? Lovemaking so spectacular that it truly is a religious experience? Transcendent Sex is not about the "Tantric method." It is about the best-kept secret in human history: that ordinary people, with no special training, can find themselves in different spiritual realms when making love -- an experience so profound that nothing will ever be the same. It is about sex that triggers episodes identical to the highest spiritual states -- as described in the annals of shamanism, yoga, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam -- including visions, channeling, reliving past lives, transcending the laws of physics, and seeing the face of God. This revealing book tells of lovers who engaged in sex as usual and suddenly found the veil between the worlds torn open. Transcendent Sex, like any other spiritual awakening, changes lives. Atheists have become believers; long-standing psychological wounds have been healed; and the sexually abused have become whole. These are the inspiring, incredible true stories of people who experienced an ecstasy and fulfillment beyond the borders of this world.

Sexual attraction to a patient is an all but universal experience in therapy . . . and one that is an all but universally avoided topic of discussion among therapists. _Sexual Intimacy Between Therapists and Patients_ faces this complex and painful issue squarely. The authors--themselves experienced clinicians and researchers--draw together clinical studies, first-hand accounts, national surveys, legislation and case law, ethical standards, popular literature, and their own carefully gathered evidence, in order to provide all of the information currently available on patient-therapist intimacy. In this book, Pope and Bouhoutsos outline the varieties of sexual abuse and describe the "at-risk" patient as well as the "at-risk" therapist. They offer guidance on how to treat a patient who has been sexually abused by a former therapist. And they cover the broader social dimensions of the issue, including recommending changes in the education of health professionals and the role played by the legal system.
