Since terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, a total of 2.7 million US service members have served in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Often discussed during this period have been post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, the so-called 'invisible wounds of war.' These injuries directly affect intimate relationships, and the treatment of these injuries involves medications that often have sexual side effects. Another set of wounds are those that directly involve sexual functioning, including lower extremity amputations and genitourinary injuries. This volume encourages medical personnel to discuss sexual health with their patients; learn how to evaluate and treat erectile dysfunction, including side effects from medications; and understand how to mitigate the effects of physical injury, pain, and disability on sexual functioning.

PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and TBI (traumatic brain injury) have been called the 'signature wounds' of the recent war. The bomb blast has been the 'signature weapon' of these conflicts, which primarily affect the lower exposed areas of the body, including the extremities and pelvic region.

"Tastefully illustrated, "Sex and Intimacy for Wounded Veterans" is a one-of-a-kind position and device resource, especially for anyone who has experienced limb loss or serious genital injury." -Mitchell Tepper, PhD, MPH, author of "Regain That Feeling: Secrets to Sexual Self-Discovery" Human contact and sexuality are natural and essential parts of our lives. Need and desire do not dissipate when someone has experienced traumatic injury. While injuries may cause profound changes to one's life, intimacy and sexual activity are still possible-and could even present new opportunities. "Sex and Intimacy for Wounded Veterans: A Guide to Embracing Change" was written by occupational therapists who work with wounded veterans, but it is applicable to all who've experienced life-changing injury. Designed to help educate veterans, family members, significant others, and clinicians, this manual provides practical information and illustrations to help readers reengage in sexual activity and intimacy, with or without adaptations and modifications. The diagnoses considered when creating "Sex and Intimacy for Wounded Veterans: A Guide to Embracing Change" include but are not limited to: traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), genital injury, spinal cord injury (SCI ), and orthopedic injuries involving muscles, bones, nerves, and limb amputations. Regardless of injury, sexual pleasure is a realistic goal, as is the ability to form intimate relationships with others. "Veterans and spouses often describe difficulty with sexual intimacy as their greatest hurdle to healing, while doctors and therapists frequently describe sex as the issue they are most unprepared to address. In "Sex and Intimacy for Wounded Veterans: A Guide to Embracing Change," both veterans and health care workers will find a comprehensive and compassionate guide. We should put a copy of this manual in the hands of every patient, spouse, and medical provider who walks through the door of a Military Treatment Facility. " --Emilie E. Godwin, Ph.D., LPC, MFT, Assistant Professor and Director of Psychotherapy & Family Services, Virginia Commonwealth University Neuropsychology Traumatic Brain Injury Model System of Care *Paid for by grants from the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the SemperMax Support Fund. Sex and Intimacy for Wounded Veterans is offered at a nominal charge to optimize its availability to all who can benefit by its use. Any proceeds from the sale of the guide will be used to purchase complimentary copies for distribution at military and veteran treatment facilities.

How one woman overcomes her traumatic past to become a strong leader, a good parent, a healthy relationship partner, and an empowered woman, sexually and everywhere else. Leah is a typical woman in society today — a mom, a wife, a small business owner. She is also typical because she is a survivor of rape. That rape and other sexual trauma are now typical in our society is tragic. By telling her story, Leah shines light on our current rape culture, as well as outlining a powerful path toward healing traumatic wounds, finding the strength to tell her truth (and perhaps shades of many other women’s truths) as well as claiming her right to a full and embodied sexuality. By her brave example, Leah hopes to help many other women do the deep work of healing sexual wounds, hold their wounders accountable, and claim the lives and the healthy sexuality to which we are all entitled. Join Leah as she walks us down the path of her trauma, the butterfly effect of that trauma, and her crawl, step by tumultuous step, out of the depths of shame, addiction, and codependency into a joyful, imperfect, triumphant, fully human life!

Dating After Trauma teaches readers how to date again after being raped or experiencing an abusive relationship. Dating after rape, date rape, or an abusive relationship presents unique challenges as most survivors experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which alters their perception of the world and makes it more difficult to develop relationships, build trust and experience intimacy. It takes tremendous courage to date after suffering an abusive relationship or sexual trauma. It can be even more difficult to be open to love from a good person without experiencing fear. However, once you know what to look for in terms of roadblocks, the path to love becomes much easier. In "Dating after Trauma" Emily Avagliano discusses the common obstacles abuse victims have when trying to find love. Her story is based on her own personal struggle to overcome past trauma and find her soulmate. Through this insight, she provides a methodology for dating that builds trust and intimacy in a safe and healthy way. She can help you let go of your fear and date in a manner that love becomes possible. For rape victims, if you have experienced date rape or sexual abuse, and want to reclaim your sexuality, find your soul mate, or just start feeling again, this book guides you through that process of healing. If someone you love has been raped, you see them suffering, and don't know how to help them move on from the past, this book will help. If you are a mother, father, friend, boyfriend or dating partner, this book explains what rape victims feel and why it is so hard for them to trust and love someone new. This book also tackles the pain of abusive relationships. If you have experienced the roller coaster of an abusive partner where some days he is the best person in the world and other days you can't understand his anger, this book will help you heal. If you have altered your behavior to try to control your partner's anger, jealousy, or even violent physical outburst, this book is for you. If your partner used name calling, controlling behavior, restricted your clothing choices, verbally intimidated you, or made you feel less than, read this book. If you are a parent, partner, or want to help someone in an abusive relationship but don't know how, this book provides insight into ending the cycle of dating abusive partners.

Making Out Like a Virgin: sex, desire & intimacy after sexual trauma (second edition) is a unique and moving collection of personal nonfiction essays that detail how each writer has moved beyond mere survival of sexual trauma to unapologetically discover a sexually and emotionally thriving life. Making Out Like a Virgin is not a collection of victim narratives, nor a healing workbook. Instead, this book is a bold new addition to stories told by survivors. The mission of these writers is not to recount their individual trauma but to detail what has helped them reclaim both body and sexual desire. "Making out like a virgin" serves as a metaphor, giving permission to sizzle and seize the moment. By telling their stories, these writers share their strengths and successes found somewhere between the big shifts and small intimate moments, inspiring others while furthering their own healing.

The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Disability provides a timely and comprehensive overview of the wide range and depth of sociological theory and research on disability-brought together for the first time in one volume. Each section of the Handbook incorporates a uniquely sociological perspective, presented by a wide-range of experts on intersecting social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of disability, that complements disability scholarship. The 37 chapters in this Handbook, organized into three major sections, provide an assessment of the history of the field, its current state, and the future for research on and in the sociology of disability. The first section reviews frameworks foundational to the study of disability, pushes for the inclusion of broader global perspectives, and addresses important dimensions of representation. The second section presents a combination of perspectives that tie together individual biography, societal contexts, and historic change, while emphasizing continuity and change in the dynamic processes linking individuals, institutions, and structures over time. In the third section, contributors investigate the reproduction of inequality through law, policy, and related institutions and systems, while highlighting how social and political participation empowers people with disabilities and helps to mitigate inequalities and social marginalization. The chapters included in this volume offer a multifaceted resource for students and experienced scientists alike on historical developments, main standards, key issues, and current challenges in the sociological study of disability at the global, national, and regional levels.

This book is a practical, and yet medically informed guide for those suffering from Chronic Back Pain - especially its effect on intimacy, its negative effect on sexuality and intimate relations. One of the most important tasks of the book is identification of subtle (indeed, nearly invisible) physical and psychological damages be back injury, pain and even treatment. The single most important reason to read this book is its grounding in the lives of patient with formidable problems. Few, if any texts go into the homes and or discuss sexual problems. This was work, but critical work if relationships were to survive. In this text, the years of wisdom gathered from couples made romance possible to regain with months - not years. Only a very small percentage of texts like this one try to see the depth of back pain patients' problems. Here we see the patient, couple, dating teens, and retired bakers throughout the day and into the night. Diagnostic medical tools reveal physical problems, but not those that come up at home and in the workplace. A first edition of this text attempted to generate solutions based on short office visits. Yet we all knew that in today's clinics, office time is short. Too often, the end with little discussion beyond perscriptions and referalls. The interviews in this book captured experiences revealed from extensive hours and identifying specific situations. The book also looks carefully at the rise of pain control medication: the right to live without pain but balanced by the need to stay connected to friends, families and responsibility to remain lucid and not "hide" from pain, which medications can allow. If we have not provided the means to achieve that, we will return to homes that must be visited, and return to the keyboard as well. With luck, we will be armed with information richer in detail, from both patients and practitioners alike.
