Summary:
"In Sex, Therapy, and Kids, Lamb demonstrates how to be sex-positive in a way that's responsive to the developmental stage of the child or teen, and thus promotes honest conversations and successful therapy. Over the course of the book, she guides therapists through such core issues as recognizing and responding to the sexual play of children who have not been abused, distinguishing sexual abuse from normal play, understanding common worries of adolescent boys and girls, and helping gay and lesbian youth who are grappling with their sexual identity. Lamb also addresses working with youth who have been abused, helping developmentally delayed teens, and collaborating with parents and families around the themes of sexuality and sexual behavior."--Jacket.
