LGBTQ+ and Sexuality Studies

Clinical encounters in sexuality: Psychoanalytic practice and queer theory by Noreen Giffney; Eve Watson (Eds.)
ISBN: 0998531855
Publication Date: 2017
"Clinical Encounters in Sexuality makes an intervention into the fields of clinical psychoanalysis and sexuality studies, in an effort to think about a range of issues relating to sexuality from a clinical psychoanalytic perspective. The editors have chosen queer theory as an interlocutor for the clinical contributors, because it is at the forefront of theoretical considerations of sexuality, as well as being both reliant upon and suspicious of psychoanalysis as a clinical practice and discourse. The book brings together a number of psychoanalytic schools of thought and clinical approaches, which are sometimes at odds with one another and thus tend not to engage in dialogue about divisive theoretical concepts and matters of clinical technique. The volume also stages, for the first time, a sustained clinical psychoanalytic engagement with queer theory."
Dismantling everyday discrimination: Microaggressions toward LGBTQ people by Kevin Leo Yabut Nadal
ISBN: 9781433840159
Publication Date: 2023
"This book examines the microaggressions that LGBTQ people face on a daily basis, highlights their impact on mental health, and discusses ways mental health providers can help clients process and address microaggressions. In contrast to outright assaults and hate crimes, microaggressions are typically more covert or innocuous in nature—sometimes intentional or unintentional—communicating hostile, insulting, or negative messages about people of oppressed groups.This book includes a comprehensive overview of empirical work on microaggressions against LGBTQ people."
Feminism, the family, and the politics of the closet: Lesbian and gay displacement by Cheshire Calhoun
ISBN: 9780198295594
Publication Date: 2000
"Feminism, the Family, and the Politics of the Closet is about placing sexual orientation politics within feminist theorizing. It is also about defining the central political issues confronting lesbian and gay men. The book brings the study of lesbians from the margins of feminist theory to the centre by critiquing the analytic frameworks employed within feminist theory that renders invisible lesbians' difference from heterosexual women. This book also outlines the basic features of lesbian and gay subordination by exploring the differences between heterosexual dominance and gender and race relations."
Geographies of sexualities: Theory, practices and politics by Kath Browne; Jason Lim; Gavin Brown
ISBN: 9780754684787
Publication Date: 2009-
"Drawing established and 'founding' figures of the field together with emerging authors, this innovative volume offers a broad, interdisciplinary and international overview of the geographies of sexualities. Incorporating a discussion of queer geographies, Geographies of sexualities engages with cutting edge agendas and challenges the orthodoxies within geography regarding spatialities and sexualities. It contains original and previously unpublished material that spans the often separated areas of theory, practices and politics. This innovative volume offers a trans-disciplinary engagement with the spatialities of sexualities, intersecting discussions of sexualities with issues such as development, race, gender and other forms of social difference."
The invention of heterosexual culture by Louis-Georges Tin
ISBN: 9780262017701
Publication Date: 2012
"Heterosexuality is celebrated—in film and television, in pop songs and opera, in literature and on greeting cards—and at the same time taken for granted. It is the cultural and sexual norm by default. And yet, as Louis-Georges Tin shows in The Invention of Heterosexual Culture, in pre-modern Europe heterosexuality was perceived as an alternative culture. The practice of heterosexuality may have been standard, but the symbolic primacy of the heterosexual couple was not. Tin maps the emergence of heterosexual culture in Western Europe and the significant resistance to it from feudal lords, church fathers, and the medical profession. Noting that the discourse of heterosexuality does not belong to heterosexuals alone, Tin offers a groundbreaking history that reasserts the cultural identity of heterosexuality."
Lived experience of LGBTQ people: What helps and what hurts by Eileen Klein
ISBN: 9781536196658
Publication Date: 2021
"This book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges encountered by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning individuals in accessing services and obtaining education, employment, and housing. Family and community bias against this population results in significant negative outcomes including increased mental health problems, homelessness, and social isolation. In addition, societal stigma and discrimination lead to poor physical health, increased smoking, alcohol and substance use, and economic disparities. Helping professionals must better understand the negative effects of discrimination and barriers to care the LGBTQ community faces to provide affirming and competent services and improve their quality of life. There are numerous case studies throughout the book, examples of how to use inclusive language in clinical interviews, a comprehensive glossary of terms, and useful websites."
Queer between the covers: Histories of queer publishing and publishing queer voices by Leila Kassir & Richard Espley (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781913002046
Publication Date: 2021
"Queer Between the Covers presents a history of radical queer publishing and literature from 1880 to the modern day. Chronicling the gay struggle for acceptance and liberation, the book demonstrates how the fight for representation was often waged between the covers of books in a world where spaces for queer expression were taboo. The chapters provide an array of voices and histories from the famous, Derek Jarman and Oscar Wilde, to the lesser known and underappreciated, such as John Wieners and Valerie Taylor. It includes firsthand accounts of seminal moments in queer history, including the birth of Hazard Press and the Defend Gay's the Word Bookshop campaign in the 1980s. Queer Between the Covers demonstrates the importance of the book and how the queer community could be brought together through shared literature."

Queer brown voices: Personal narratives of Latina/o LGBT activism by Uriel Quesada; Letitia Gomez; Salvador Vidal-Ortiz (Eds.)
ISBN: 1477302344
Publication Date: 2015
"In the last three decades of the twentieth century, LGBT Latinas/os faced several forms of discrimination. The greater Latino community did not often accept sexual minorities, and the mainstream LGBT movement expected everyone, regardless of their ethnic and racial background, to adhere to a specific set of priorities so as to accommodate a 'unified' agenda. Comprising essays and oral history interviews that present the experiences of fourteen activists across the United States and in Puerto Rico, this book offers a new perspective on the history of LGBT mobilization and activism. The activists discuss subjects that shed light not only on the organizations they helped to create and operate, but also on their broad-ranging experiences of being racialized and discriminated against, fighting for access to health care during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and struggling for awareness."
Queering Mesoamerican diasporas: Remembering Xicana indígena ancestries by Susy J. Zepeda
ISBN: 9780252044533
Publication Date: 2022
"Acts of remembering offer a path to decolonization for Indigenous peoples forcibly dislocated from their culture, knowledge, and land. Susy J. Zepeda highlights the often overlooked yet intertwined legacies of Chicana feminisms and queer decolonial theory through the work of select queer Indígena cultural producers and thinkers. By tracing the ancestries and silences of gender-nonconforming people of color, she addresses colonial forms of epistemic violence and methods of transformation, in particular spirit research. Zepeda also uses archival materials, raised ceremonial altars, and analysis of decolonial artwork in conjunction with oral histories to explore the matriarchal roots of Chicana/x and Latina/x feminisms. As she shows, these feminisms are forms of knowledge that people can remember through Indigenous-centered visual narratives, cultural wisdom, and spirit practices."
Queering philosophy by Kim Q. Hall
ISBN: 9781786609427
Publication Date: 2022
"Queering Philosophy provides a critical introduction to and engagement with current conversations and emerging themes at the nexus of queer theory and philosophy. Much more than a summary of recent work, this book presents an intersectional, thematic approach that highlights scholarship at the cutting edge of queer, feminist, disability, and critical race theories; defines the parameters of contemporary queer philosophy; and argues that a queer philosophy must aim to queer philosophy. Queering Philosophy explores the possibility of doing philosophy otherwise. In doing so, the book explores feminist, critical race, and critical disability theories to advance a queer feminist critique, and challenges the unacknowledged whiteness and other forms of marginalization that have characterized the mainstream of philosophy and queer theory's archive."
Sexuality, rurality, and geography by Andrew Gorman-Murray; Barbara Pini; Lia Bryant (Eds.)
ISBN: 9780739169360
Publication Date: 2012
"This international, edited collection contributes to knowledge about the geographies of sexualities experienced and imagined in rural spaces. The book draws attention to the heterogeneity of rural contexts and the diversity of meanings about sexualities within and across these spaces. The chapters: present historical and contemporary case studies of the constitution and management of intimate sexual lives and relationships in rural and non-metropolitan spaces; consider how movement, coming out and memories of time and place inflect home, identity and belonging for rural lesbians and gay men; provide insights into similarities and differences in rural migration and homemaking for lesbians, gay men and same-sex families; and investigate the commodification of rural sexualities. This collection begins the processes of furthering discussion and knowledge about the inherently dynamic and constantly changing nature of the rural and the multiple, varied and complex sexual subjectivities lived through corporeal experiences and virtual and imagined lives."
Sexual orientation and mental health: Examining identity and development in lesbian, gay, and bisexual people by Allen Martin Omoto; Howard S. Kurtzman
ISBN: 1591472326
Publication Date: 2005
"In Sexual Orientation and Mental Health, expert contributors explore the impressive body of rigorous empirical research on mental health in lesbian, gay, and bisexual people that has emerged over the past decade. The contributors examine the prevalence and potential determinants of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse in adolescents and adults, giving consideration to the roles of prejudice and harassment as well as of positive family and social supports. The chapters address a wide range of topics, including sexual behavior and identity, the influence of religion on mental health, work satisfaction, the well-being of children of same-sex couples, and the links between psychosocial processes and physical health. Several chapters also focus on the experiences of members of ethnic minority groups. Contributors discuss methodological challenges in conducting research with lesbian, gay, and bisexual people and suggest topics for future research."
The Stonewall reader by New York Public Library (Editor); Edmund White (Foreword by); Jason Baumann (Editor, Introduction by)
ISBN: 9780143133513
Publication Date: 2019
"June 28, 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, which is considered the most significant event in the gay liberation movement, and the catalyst for the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States. Drawing from the New York Public Library's archives, The Stonewall Reader is a collection of first accounts, diaries, periodic literature, and articles from LGBTQ magazines and newspapers that documented both the years leading up to and the years following the riots. Most importantly the anthology spotlights both iconic activists who were pivotal in the movement, such as Sylvia Rivera, co-founder of Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (STAR), as well as forgotten figures like Ernestine Eckstein, one of the few out, African American, lesbian activists in the 1960s. The anthology focuses on the events of 1969, the five years before, and the five years after."

From her early, often harrowing memories of life and abuse in a remote Ojibwa community riven by poverty and alcoholism, Chacaby's story is one of enduring and ultimately overcoming the social, economic, and health legacies of colonialism.

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender myths from the Arapaho to the Zuñi by Jim Elledge (Editor)
Call Number: E98.R3 G38 2002 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0820452866
Publication Date: 2002
"Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons were at the center of a large body of myths in which they played important roles, from creators of earth and all life to heroes (male andfemale) in battle. From approximately 160 extant Native American myths, Jim Elledge has selected all those which would be most readily identifiable by contemporary readers as dealing with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals, as well as those which focus on them as prominent, if not main, characters in the myths. He has located a literature that existed long before the European colonization of North America and asserts that, not only does North American literature begin with the oral traditions of Native Americans, the beginning of North American literature includes gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender literature in the form of these and other myths."

Gender and sexuality, repression and resistance, deviance and acceptance, identity and community-all are given a context in this fascinating work."
Lesbianism: A study in female homosexuality by David H. Rosen; Rachel Rosen
Call Number: HQ76.3.U5 R67 2019 (Lambert)
ISBN: 9781532698897
Publication Date: 2020
"Unlike Freud, who based his view that lesbianism was a mental disorder on a single case study, this breakthrough and innovative research project concerns interviews and psychological testing of 26 lesbians who were not psychiatric patients. And, as one would predict, these lesbians were not disturbed, as far as mental health was concerned. The original 1965-1966 research study is included in its entirety. The original research was done before homosexuality was removed as a mental disorder. This study was a pioneering one that disproved a false idea that lesbianism was evidence of an emotional disorder."
Myths and mysteries of same-sex love by Christine Downing
Call Number: HQ76.25.D68 (Lambert and Ladera)
ISBN: 0826409180
Publication Date: 1996-10-01
"Downing's book is a critical analysis of same-sex love throughout history, an attempt to discover hidden information about homosexuality. She shows that 'homosexuality' is in fact an illusion, a category poorly defined by 19th-century psychologists. By analyzing the writings of Freud, Jung, Foucault, and others, Downing draws surprising conclusions that add up collectively to a far different historical picture of lesbians and gay men than the one we assume. She notes, for instance, that 'Freud's own writings reveal a rather different understanding of homosexuality than that usually attributed to psychoanalysis.' Downing concludes by examining the dynamics of same-sex love between Greek deities and discussing the homoerotic content of works by Plato and Sappho." -Library Journal
Reclaiming Two-Spirits: Sexuality, spiritual renewal, & sovereignty in Native America by Gregory D. Smithers; Raven E. Heavy Runner (Foreword by)
Call Number: E98.S48 S65 2022 (Lambert)
ISBN: 9780807003466
Publication Date: 2022
"Before 1492, hundreds of Indigenous communities across North America included people who identified as neither male nor female, but both. They went by aakíí'skassi, miati, okitcitakwe or one of hundreds of other tribally specific identities. After European colonizers invaded Indian Country, centuries of violence and systematic persecution followed, imperiling the existence of people who today call themselves Two-Spirits, an umbrella term denoting feminine and masculine qualities in one person. Drawing on written sources, archaeological evidence, art, and oral storytelling, Reclaiming Two-Spirits spans the centuries from Spanish invasion to the present, tracing massacres and inquisitions and revealing how the authors of colonialism's written archives used language to both denigrate and erase Two-Spirit people from history."

The witch and the clown: Two archetypes of human sexuality by Barry Ulanov; Ann Belford Ulanov
Call Number: HQ1075 .U52 1987 (Lambert and Ladera)
ISBN: 0933029071
Publication Date: 1987
"What makes the witch still so compelling to our imaginations? How does the clown reach through our tears to our laughter? The witch gives us a picture of power in the feminine, of feminine intellect and spirit, primordial in its force, authoritative in its wisdom. The clown gives us a picture of the soft feeling hidden within the masculine, which men must turn to, receive, and embrace. The Ulanovs explore these figures in a unique way—not as mere literary, anthropological, or historical themes, but in terms of what they mean to people in the actual living of their lives, in facing their problems and potentialities. Ann Belford Ulanov is a Jungian analyst in private practice in New York City and on the faculty of the C. G. Jung Institute of Analytical Psychology."

The essays represent new and emerging areas, including transgender studies, indigenous studies, disability studies, queer of color critique, performance studies, and studies of digital culture.

This book traces the intellectual and political emergence of queer studies, addresses relevant critical debates in the field, provides an overview of queer approaches to genres, and explains how queer approaches have transformed understandings of key concepts in multiple fields."

The Oxford handbook of sexual and gender minority mental health by Esther D. Rothblum (Ed.)
ISBN: 9780190067991
Publication Date: 2020
"The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of research on the mental health of sexual minorities—defined as those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or same-gender attracted; as well as the mental health of gender minorities-defined as individuals who do not fully identify with their sex assigned at birth, including people who are transgender or gender non-binary. The twenty-first century has seen encouraging improvements in sampling, methods, and funding opportunities for research with sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations; nevertheless, a key purpose of this Handbook is to identify lingering gaps in research in order to motivate future scientists to expand knowledge about SGM mental health. The volume begins with a historical overview, followed by sections on mental health categories/diagnoses (such as anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and suicide) and specific sexual and gender minority populations (including examinations of diverse ethnicities and orientations/identities). The handbook concludes with chapters on stigma, the role of resilience, and future directions for research with SGM groups."

Whatever: A Transdisciplinary Journal of Queer Theories and Studies

Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ): 2018 - present.
"Whatever is international, double-blind peer-reviewed, online, open-access. From its very beginnings, queer has again and again proved its unpredictable productivity, its irrepressible vitality, its unconditional refusal to be circumscribed, defined, tamed. Queer is, of course, well established in the field of LGBTI studies, where it has quickly achieved the worldwide recognition it deserves; in addition, today, scholars and activists the world over are spinning queer outwards in a range of new and exciting directions, such as (to name but a few) neuroqueer, animal queer, queer economies, queer pedagogies, or the queer politics of migration. Their daring and original work is a powerful testimonial to the productivity and vitality of a clusterof theories which deserve to be more widely known and applied, both in scholarship, teaching and research, and in activism, advocacy, and policy-making."

Trans and Gender Studies

Affirmative counseling and psychological practice with transgender and gender-nonconforming clients by Anneliese A. Singh & Lore M. Dickey (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781433823008
Publication Date: 2016
"Less than 30% of psychologists report familiarity with transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) clients' needs. The clients, in turn, report a lack of support in their gender journeys. There is clearly a large gap in knowledge, skill, and competence in this area of practice. This clinical guide fills that gap by providing mental health practitioners with an affirmative approach that emphasises a collaborative partnership guided by client-driven goals. An expert panel of contributors teaches readers strategies for working with a diverse array of TGNC clients, including adolescents, older adults, parents, and people of colour. Client factors, including sexual orientation, religious and spiritual beliefs, and traumatic experiences, are also given special attention. Readers will learn how to address the impact of the injustices TGNC people face in everyday life, work with clients' strengths to enhance their resilience and coping skills, and advocate for their rights to obtain mental and physical health services. They will also learn how to negotiate complex issues, such as interdisciplinary care, ethical and legal obligations, and gender-affirming surgeries and medications. The chapter authors draw from evidence-based theories and APA's "Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People" (PDF, 462KB) to help readers meet the latest standards of care."
Gender reckonings: New social theory and research by James W. Messerschmidt; Michael A. Messner; Raewyn Connell; Patricia Yancey Martin (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781479897148
Publication Date: 2018
"Since scholars began interrogating the meaning of gender and sexuality in society, this field has become essential to the study of sociology. Gender Reckonings aims to map new directions for understanding gender and sexuality within a more pragmatic, dynamic, and socially relevant framework. It shows how gender relations must be understood on a large scale as well as in intimate detail. The contributors return to the basics, questioning how gender patterns change, how we can realize gender equality, and how the structures of gender impact daily life. Gender Reckonings covers not only foundational concepts of gender relations and gender justice, but also explores postcolonial patterns of gender, intersectionality, gender fluidity, transgender practices, neoliberalism, and queer theory."
How sex changed: A history of transsexuality in the United States by Joanne Meyerowitz
ISBN: 0674013794
Publication Date: 2004
"Joanne Meyerowitz tells a powerful human story about people who had a deep and unshakable desire to transform their bodily sex. From early twentieth-century sex experiments in Europe, to the saga of Christine Jorgensen, whose sex-change surgery made headlines in 1952, to today's growing transgender movement, Meyerowitz gives us the first serious history of transsexuality. She focuses on the stories of transsexual men and women themselves, as well as a large supporting cast of doctors, scientists, journalists, lawyers, judges, feminists, and gay liberationists, as they debated the big questions of medical ethics, nature versus nurture, self and society, and the scope of human rights. In this story of transsexuality, Meyerowitz shows how new definitions of sex circulated in popular culture, science, medicine, and the law, and she elucidates the tidal shifts in our social, moral, and medical beliefs over the twentieth century, away from sex as an evident biological certainty and toward an understanding of sex as something malleable and complex."
Key concepts in gender studies by Jane Pilcher; Imelda Whelehan
ISBN: 9781446260289
Publication Date: 2017
"The new edition of Key Concepts in Gender Studies is a lively and engaging introduction to this dynamic field. Thoroughly revised throughout, the second edition benefits from the addition of nine new concepts, including Gender Social Movements, Intersectionality and Mainstreaming. Each of the entries: begins with a concise definition outlines the history of each term and the debates surrounding it; includes illustrations of how the concept has been applied within the field; offers examples which allow a critical re-evaluation of the concept; is cross-referenced with the other key concepts; and ends with guidance on further reading."
Making girls and boys: Inside the science of sex by Jane Mccredie; Jane McCredie
ISBN: 9781742245492
Publication Date: 2011
"What is it that makes a person a boy or a girl? From our cradles to our graves, a pair of letters, either XX or XY, will define much of our lives. 'It's a girl!' or 'It's a boy!' will be the first label applied to us, the first thing said about who we are as an individual. For every person in every society, gender has a fundamental affect on what we choose, how we live, and how we think about the world and how the world sees us. Sex is one of the most powerfully defining concepts that we have."
Non-binary lives: An anthology of intersecting identities by Jos Twist; Meg-John Barker; Kat Gupta; Ben Vincent (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781787753396
Publication Date: 2020
"What does it mean to be non-binary in the 21st Century? Pushing the narrative around non-binary identities further than ever before, this powerful collection of essays represents the breadth of non-binary lives, across the boundaries of race, class, age, sexuality, faith and more. Leading non-binary people share stories of their intersecting lives; how it feels to be non-binary and neurodiverse, the challenges of being a non-binary pregnant person, what it means to be non-binary within the Quaker community, the joy of reaching gender euphoria. This thought-provoking anthology shows that there is no right or wrong way to be non-binary."
Sexism and stereotypes in modern society: The gender science of Janet Taylor Spence by William B. Swann; Judith H. Langlois; Lucia Albino Gilbert (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781557985316
Publication Date: 1998
"Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet T. Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental difference between men and women. The simple idea of difference, once used to rationalize prejudices and discrimination, has now been replaced by a complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. This book explores new empirical work and theoretical models about the causes and consequences of constructing gender."
The shape of sex : Nonbinary gender from genesis to the renaissance by Leah DeVun
ISBN: 9780231195508
Publication Date: 2021
"The Shape of Sex is a pathbreaking history of nonbinary sex, focusing on ideas and individuals who allegedly combined or crossed sex or gender categories from 200-1400 C.E. Ranging widely across premodern European thought and culture, Leah DeVun reveals how and why efforts to define 'the human' so often hinged on ideas about nonbinary sex. The Shape of Sex examines a host of thinkers—theologians, cartographers, natural philosophers, lawyers, poets, surgeons, and alchemists—who used ideas about nonbinary sex as conceptual tools to order their political, cultural, and natural worlds. DeVun reconstructs the cultural landscape navigated by individuals whose sex or gender did not fit the binary alongside debates about animality, sexuality, race, religion, and human nature. In a moment when questions about sex, gender, and identity have become incredibly urgent, The Shape of Sex casts new light on a complex and often contradictory past. It shows how premodern thinkers created a system of sex and embodiment that both anticipates and challenges modern beliefs about what it means to be male, female—and human."
They/them/their: A guide to nonbinary and genderqueer identities by Eris Young
ISBN: 9781785924835
Publication Date: 2019
'In this insightful and long-overdue book, Eris Young explores what it's like to live outside of the gender binary and how it can impact on one's relationships, sense of identity, use of language and more. Drawing on the author's own experiences as a nonbinary person, as well as interviews and research, it shares common experiences and challenges faced by those who are nonbinary, and what friends, family and other cisgender people can do to support them. Breaking down misconceptions and providing definitions, the history of nonbinary identities and gender-neutral language, and information on healthcare, this much-needed guide is for anyone wanting to fully understand nonbinary and genderqueer identities."
Trans* in college: Transgender students' strategies for navigating campus life and the institutional politics of inclusion by Kristen A. Renn (Foreword by); Z. Nicolazzo; Stephen John Quaye (Afterword by)
ISBN: 9781620364574
Publication Date: 2016
"This is both a personal book that offers an account of the author's own trans* identity and a deeply engaged study of trans* collegians that reveals the complexities of trans* identities, and how these students navigate the trans* oppression present throughout society and their institutions, create community and resilience, and establish meaning and control in a world that assumes binary genders. This book is addressed as much to trans* students themselves—offering them a frame to understand the genders that mark them as different and to address the feelings brought on by the weight of that difference —as it is to faculty, student affairs professionals, and college administrators, opening up the implications for the classroom and the wider campus. This book not only remedies the paucity of literature on trans* college students, but does so from a perspective of resiliency and agency. Rather than situating trans* students as problems requiring accommodation, this book problematizes the college environment and frames trans* students as resilient individuals capable of participating in supportive communities and kinship networks, and of developing strategies to promote their own success."
Transgender mental health by Eric Yarbrough
ISBN: 9781615371136
Publication Date: 2018
"Societal awareness of transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) individuals is greater now than at any point in history, owing to the education of policy makers by advocacy organizations, the education of clinicians by research and scientific organizations, and the education of the general public by movies, television, and other media. However, most professional training programs for mental health professionals provide little to no education regarding gender diversity. Transgender Mental Health squarely addresses this deficit. This guide forgoes clinical jargon in favor of accessible, straightforward language designed to educate clinicians on how to address the basic needs of the TGNC community, thus increasing access to mental health care for TGNC individuals. Transgender Mental Health is a simple yet thorough primer on the complex topic of gender diversity."
Transgender voices: Beyond women and men by Lori B. Girshick; Jamison Green (Foreword by)
ISBN: 9781584658382
Publication Date: 2009
"Lori B. Girshick, a sociologist and social justice activist, brings together the voices of sex- and gender-diverse people who speak with absolute candor about their lives. Girshick presents transpeople speaking in their own voices about identity, coming out, passing, sexual orientation, relationship negotiations and the dynamics of attraction, homophobia (including internalized fears), and bullying. She exposes the guilt and the shame that 'gender police' use in their attempts to exert control and points out the many ways transpeople are discriminated against in daily life, from filling out identification documents to gender-segregated bathrooms. By showing us a variety of descriptions of diverse real lives and providing a thorough exploration of the embodied experiences of gender variant people, Girshick demonstrates that there is nothing inherently binary about gender, and that the way each of us experiences our own gender is, in fact, normal and natural."
Trans historical: Gender plurality before the modern by Greta LaFleur; Masha Raskolnikov; Anna Klosowska (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781501759086
Publication Date: 2021
"Trans Historical explores the plurality of gender experiences that flourished before the modern era, from Late Antiquity to the eighteenth century, across a broad geographic range, from Spain to Poland and Byzantium to Boston. Refuting arguments that transgender people, experiences, and identities were non-existent or even impossible prior to the twentieth century, this volume focuses on archives—literary texts, trial transcripts, documents, and artifacts—that denaturalize gender as a category. The volume historicizes the many different social lives of sexual differentiation, exploring what gender might have been before modern medicine, the anatomical sciences, and the sedimentation of gender difference into its putatively binary form. Alongside historical questions about the meaning of sexual differentiation, Trans Historical also offers a series of diverse meditations on how scholars of the medieval and early modern periods might approach gender nonconformity before the nineteenth-century emergence of the norm and the normal."
Trans sex: Clinical approaches to trans sexualities and erotic embodiments by Lucie Fielding
ISBN: 9781000376852
Publication Date: 2021
"Despite the increasing visibility of trans and non-binary folx in media, political representation, and popular culture, their sexual lives and erotic embodiments are woefully under-attended-to in both scholarship and clinical practice. The aim of this book is to equip providers with both conceptual frameworks and concrete tools for better engaging their trans, non-binary, and gender expansive clients in pleasure-centered discussions of sexual health. Challenging the dominant images of trans sexualities that appear in the existing literature, such as an emphasis on avoiding gender dysphoria, the preservation of sexual function, or on sexual losses that may arise as a result of transition pathways, Trans Sex offers a pleasure-positive approach to working with trans clients. Providing concrete clinical practices and practical activities that utilize social justice, intersectional trans feminism, and radical queer theory as key conceptual frameworks, this groundbreaking text is designed to be accessible to a wide range of providers."
You've changed: Sex reassignment and personal identity by Laurie J. Shrage (Editor)
ISBN: 9780195385700
Publication Date: 2009
Is sex identity a feature of one's mind or body, and is it a relational or intrinsic property? Who is in the best position to know a person's sex, do we each have a true sex, and is a person's sex an alterable characteristic? When a person's sex assignment changes, has the old self disappeared and a new one emerged; or, has only the public presentation of one's self changed? You've Changed examines the philosophical questions raised by the phenomenon of sex reassignment, and brings together the essays of scholars known for their work in gender, sexuality, queer, and disability studies' feminist epistemology and science studies; and philosophical accounts of personal identity. An interdisciplinary contribution to the emerging field of transgender studies, it will be of interest to students and scholars in a number of disciplines."

As nature made him: The boy who was raised as a girl by John Colapinto
Call Number: RC560.G45C65 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0060192119
Publication Date: 2000
"The true story about the 'twins case' and a riveting exploration of medical arrogance, misguided science, societal confusion, gender differences, and one man's ultimate triumph. In 1967, after a twin baby boy suffered a botched circumcision, his family agreed to a radical treatment that would alter his gender. The case would become one of the most famous in modern medicine—and a total failure. The boy's uninjured brother, raised as a boy, provided to the experiment the perfect matched control. As Nature Made Him tells the extraordinary story of David Reimer, who, when finally informed of his medical history, made the decision to live as a male. A macabre tale of medical arrogance, it is first and foremost a human drama of one man's—and one family's—amazing survival in the face of terrible odds."

Call Number: HQ71.B57 1991 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0415903890
Publication Date: 1991
"Why are manifestations of sexuality and ambiguity currently provoking so much interest?

Publication Date: 1993
"An exploration of the diverse presentations of gender dysphoria and how it affects an individual's physical, psychological, social, and sexual adjustment, Gender Dysphoria provides comprehensive and applicable treatment approaches available for a wide spectrum of presentations of this disorder. The need for evaluating and treating gender dysphoria in the context of the gender dysphoric client's overall mental and physical health is stressed. International experts in the clinical management of gender dysphoria contribute valuable information on contemporary approaches in assessment, psychological and medical treatment, and adjustment of individuals with gender identity disorders. In Gender Dysphoria, clinicians will find important information on hormone therapy options and their physical results and side effects, and the effectiveness of sex reassignment surgery in improving a gender dysphoric client's adjustment."
GenderQueer: Voices from beyond the sexual binary by Joan Nestle; Riki A. Wilchins; Clare Howell
Call Number: HQ76.25.G455 (Lambert)
ISBN: 1555837301
Publication Date: 2002
"Gender identity, an issue that has galvanised the queer community in recent years, goes beyond the nature of male/female to a yet-to-be-traversed region that lies somewhere between and beyond biologically determined gender. In this groundbreaking anthology, three experts in gender studies and politics navigate around rigid, societally imposed concepts of two genders to discover and illuminate the limitless possibilities of identity."
Gender trouble: Feminism and the subversion of identity by Judith Butler
Call Number: HQ1154.B88 1990 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0415900433
Publication Date: 1989
"Ever since feminist theory introduced the distinction between sex and gender, the question of what it means to be a woman has preoccupied feminist thought. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine.' Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality. In Gender Trouble, Judith Butler questions whether it is possible to 'be' a woman at all or, for that matter, any gender."
The lenses of gender: Transforming the debate on sexual inequality by Sandra Lipsitz Bem
Call Number: HQ1075.B45 1993 (Lambert)
ISBN: 9780300154252
Publication Date: 1993
"In this book, a leading theorist on sex and gender discusses how hidden assumptions embedded in our cultural discourses, social institutions, and individual psyches perpetuate male power and oppress women and sexual minorities. Sandra Lipsitz Bem argues that these assumptions, which she calls the lenses of gender, shape not only perceptions of social reality but also the more material things—like unequal pay and inadequate daycare—that constitute social reality itself. Her penetrating and articulate examination of these hidden cultural lenses enables us to look at them rather than through them and to better understand recent debates on gender and sexuality."

"This book brings together the thinking of an international group of clinicians, researchers, and professionals from different disciplines and is based primarily on a selection of papers presented at a conference on the same topic held at the Tavistock Centre, London, in November 1996, but with additional original contributions. It presents a dialogue amongst the various perspectives that can be taken about atypical gender identity development and their relevance to mental health in children and adolescents. The book is for multidisciplinary professional readership and interested lay people."

Publication Date: 2004
"Explore an ecological strength-based framework for the treatment of gender-variant clients. This comprehensive book provides you with a clinical and theoretical overview of the issues facing transgendered/transsexual people and their families. Transgender Emergence: Therapeutic Guidelines for Working with Gender-Variant People and Their Families views assessment and treatment through a nonpathologizing lens that honors human diversity and acknowledges the role of oppression in the developmental process of gender identity formation. Specific sections of Transgender Emergence address the needs of gender-variant people as well as transgender children and youth. The issues facing gender-variant populations who have not been the focus of clinical care, such as intersexed people, female-to-male transgendered people, and those who identify as bigendered, are also addressed."
Unlocking the iron cage: The men's movement, gender politics, and American culture by Michael Schwalbe
Call Number: HQ1090.3.S39 1996 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0195092295
Publication Date: 1996
"The mythopoetic men's movement grew quietly for ten years before Roberts Bly's bestseller Iron John brought the movement to national attention. Based on Michael Schwalbe's three years of experience as a participant and observer at over one hundred meetings, as well as on interviews with active members, Unlocking the Iron Cage provides a revealing look at who these men are, what they do, why mythopoetic activity appeals to them, what needs it fills, where it succeeds, and where it fails. Schwalbe illuminates the theory behind the mythopoetic movement—which derives largely from Jungian psychology and the archetypal psychology of James Hillman—but for the most part he focuses on the rank-and-file participants. In Unlocking the Iron Cage, Michael Schwalbe provides an understanding, insightful account of this often-maligned grass-roots movement, revealing both its potential for harm and the genuine value it has for many people."

The Oxford handbook of sexual and gender minority mental health by Esther D. Rothblum (Editor)
ISBN: 9780190067991
Publication Date: 2020
"The Oxford handbook of sexual and gender minority mental health provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of research on the mental health of sexual minorities—defined as those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or same-gender attracted—as well as the mental health of gender minorities—defined as individuals who do not fully identify with their sex assigned at birth, including people who are transgender or gender non-binary. The twenty-first century has seen encouraging improvements in sampling, methods, and funding opportunities for research with sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations; nevertheless, a key purpose of this Handbook is to identify lingering gaps in research in order to motivate future scientists to expand knowledge about SGM mental health. The volume begins with a historical overview, followed by sections on mental health categories/diagnoses (such as anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and suicide) and specific sexual and gender minority populations (including examinations of diverse ethnicities and orientations/identities). The Handbook concludes with chapters on stigma, the role of resilience, and future directions for research with SGM groups."
Encyclopedia of sex and gender by Fedwa Malti-Douglas (Editor)
Call Number: REF HQ16.E52 2007
ISBN: 9780028661155
Publication Date: 2007
"Gender studies have become a major academic field in the past 25 years, providing a lens through which to reexamine and reevaluate knowledge in every area of human interaction and activity. The Encyclopedia of Sex and Gender encompasses the various concepts of sex and gender that have arisen from the critical study of those subjects worldwide, as well as the emerging reimagination of the more traditional humanities and social sciences. Broad theoretical essays address issues of sex and gender at the personal and the social level; others examine issues of identity, status, class, ethnicity, race, and nation; of sexuality and the body; of social institutions and the structures of representation—all through the lens of gender. With a truly global perspective, topics of individual entries include changing conceptions of the feminine, the family and masculinity, religion, morality, cultural images, medical practice, public health, economy and society and many more. In addition, the work discusses the influences of gender studies on various academic disciplines, examining how it has transformed and utilized methods and theories that have evolved."

Duke University Press Journals: 2014 - present.
"TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly offers a high-profile venue for innovative research and scholarship that contest the objectification, pathologization, and exoticization of transgender lives. It publishes interdisciplinary work that explores the diversity of gender, sex, sexuality, embodiment, and identity in ways that have not been adequately addressed by feminist and queer scholarship. Its mission is to foster a vigorous conversation among scholars, artists, activists, and others that examines how 'transgender' comes into play as a category, a process, a social assemblage, an increasingly intelligible gender identity, an identifiable threat to gender normativity, and a rubric for understanding the variability and contingency of gender across time, space, and cultures."

"Each year an estimated one in two thousand babies are born with anatomy that doesn't clearly mark them as either male or female with what is known as an intersex condition.... This provocative documentary demystifies the issue of sexual difference. At a time when five babies a day in the United States are having 'gender reassignment' surgery, it argues that there is little evidence that such surgery is beneficial to the child. The program profiles several people born with ambiguous sexual anatomy, who have managed to deal with some very difficult family and social issues.... Interweaving their stories with educational films from the 1950's, One in 2000 invites us to take a serious second look at how the media have dealt with sexual 'normality.'" (Run time: 26 minutes)

Women’s Studies and Feminist Theory

21st century media and female mental health: Profitable vulnerability and Sad Girl culture by Fredrika Thelandersson
ISBN: 9783031167553
Publication Date: 2022
"By tracing the coverage of mental health issues in magazines, among female celebrities, and on social media this book shows how an increasingly intimate media environment has made way for a profitable vulnerability that takes the shape of marketable and brand-friendly mental illness awareness. But at the same time, Sad Girl cultures are proliferating on social media platforms, creating radically honest spaces where those who suffer get support, and more capacious ways of feeling bad are formed. Using discourse analysis and digital ethnography to study contemporary representations of mental illness and sadness in Western popular media and social media, this book takes a feminist media studies approach to popular discourse, understanding the conversations happening around mental health in these sites to function as scripts for how to think about and experience mental illness and sadness."
Asian American feminisms and women of color politics by Lynn Fujiwara; Shireen Roshanravan; Piya Chatterjee (Eds.)
ISBN: 9780295744353

"Asian American Feminisms and Women of Color Politics brings together groundbreaking essays that speak to the relationship between Asian American feminisms, feminist of color work, and transnational feminist scholarship. This collection, featuring work by both senior and rising scholars, considers topics including the politics of visibility, histories of Asian American participation in women of color political formations, accountability for Asian American 'settler complicities' and cross-racial solidarities, and Asian American community-based strategies against state violence as shaped by and tied to women of color feminisms. Asian American Feminisms and Women of Color Politics provides a deep conceptual intervention into the theoretical underpinnings of Asian American studies; ethnic studies; women's, gender, and sexual studies; as well as cultural studies in general."
Black feminism reimagined: After intersectionality by Jennifer C. Nash
ISBN: 1478000430
Publication Date: 2019
"In Black Feminism Reimagined, Jennifer C. Nash reframes black feminism's engagement with intersectionality, often celebrated as its primary intellectual and political contribution to feminist theory. Charting the institutional history and contemporary uses of intersectionality in the academy, Nash outlines how women's studies has both elevated intersectionality to the discipline's primary program—building initiative and cast intersectionality as a threat to feminism's coherence. As intersectionality has become a central feminist preoccupation, Nash argues that black feminism has been marked by a single affect—defensiveness—manifested by efforts to police intersectionality's usages and circulations. Nash contends that only by letting go of this deeply alluring protectionist stance, the desire to make property of knowledge, can black feminists reimagine intellectual production in ways that unleash black feminist theory's visionary world-making possibilities."

Emancipation's daughters: Reimagining black femininity and the national body by Riché Richardson
ISBN: 9781478009917
Publication Date: 2021
"In Emancipation's Daughters, Riché Richardson examines iconic black women leaders who have contested racial stereotypes and constructed new national narratives of black womanhood in the United States. Drawing on literary texts and cultural representations, Richardson shows how five emblematic black women—Mary McLeod Bethune, Rosa Parks, Condoleezza Rice, Michelle Obama, and Beyoncé—have challenged white-centered definitions of American identity. By using the rhetoric of motherhood and focusing on families and children, these leaders have defied racist images of black women, such as the mammy or the welfare queen, and rewritten scripts of femininity designed to exclude black women from civic participation. Throughout Emancipation's Daughters, Richardson reveals new possibilities for inclusive models of blackness, national femininity, and democracy."
Equality with a vengeance: Men's rights groups, battered women, and antifeminist backlash by Molly Dragiewicz
ISBN: 9781555537395
Publication Date: 2011
"This book investigates efforts by fathers' rights groups to undermine battered women's shelters and services, in the context of the backlash against feminism. Dragiewicz examines the lawsuit Booth v. Hvass, in which fathers' rights groups attempted to use an Equal Protection claim to argue that funding emergency services that target battered women is discriminatory against men. As Dragiewicz shows, this case (which was eventually dismissed) is relevant to widespread efforts to promote a degendered understanding of violence against women in order to eradicate policies and programs that were designed to ameliorate harm to battered women."
Everywhere and nowhere: Contemporary feminism in the United States by Jo Reger
ISBN: 9780199861989
Publication Date: 2012
"Challenging the idea that feminism in the United States is dead or in decline, Everywhere and Nowhere examines the contours of contemporary feminism. Through a nuanced investigation of three feminist communities, Jo Reger shows how contemporary feminists react to the local environment currently shaping their identities, tactics, discourse, and relations with other feminist generations. By moving the analysis to the community level, Reger illustrates how feminism is simultaneously absent from the national, popular culture—'nowhere'—and diffused into the foundations of American culture—'everywhere.' Reger addresses some of the most debated topics concerning feminists in the twenty-first century. Everywhere and Nowhere offers a clear, empirical analysis of the state of contemporary feminism while also revealing the fascinating and increasingly complex development of community-level feminist groups in the United States."
Exploring depth psychology and the female self: Feminist themes from somewhere by Leslie Gardner & Catriona Miller (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781000221428
Publication Date: 2020
"Exploring Depth Psychology and the Female Self: Feminist Themes from Somewhere presents a Jungian take on modern feminism, offering an international assessment with a dynamic political edge which includes perspectives from both clinicians and academics. Presented in three parts, this unique collection explores how the fields of gender and politics have influenced each other, how myth and storytelling craft feminist narratives and how public discussion can amplify feminist theory. The contributions include some which are traditionally theoretical in tone, and some which are uniquely personal, but all work to encounter the female self as an active entity. The book as a whole offers a multi-faceted and interdisciplinary approach to feminism and feminist issues from contemporary voices around the world, as well as a critique of Jung's essentialist notion of the feminine."

By foregrounding the experiential and embodied nature of doing feminist research, this book offers valuable tools for feminist research as a continuous praxis. Emerging from a rich collective learning process, the collection offers in-depth reflections on how feminists shape research questions, understand positionality, share research results beyond academe and produce feminist intersectional knowledges. From different points of view, places and disciplinary positions, artistic and creative experiments and collaborations, the book provides a multi-layered analysis."
The good-natured feminist: Ecofeminism and the quest for democracy by Catriona Sandilands
ISBN: 9780816688869
Publication Date: 1999
"This book aims to situate a commitment to theory and politics—that is, to democratic practice—at the center of ecofeminism and, thus, to move toward an ecofeminism that is truly both feminist and ecological. The Good-Natured Feminist inaugurates a sustained conversation between ecofeminism and recent writings in feminist postmodernism and radical democracy. Starting with the assumption that ecofeminism is a body of democratic theory, the book tells how the movement originated in debates about 'nature' in North American radical feminisms, how it then became entangled with identity politics, and how it now seeks to include nature in democratic conversation and, especially, to politicize relations between gender and nature in both theoretical and activist milieus."
The new heroines in film and television: Post-Jungian perspectives on contemporary female characters by Helena Bassil-Morozow
ISBN: 9781000889130
Publication Date: 2023
"Applying a theoretical frame that is richly informed by the Jungian and post-Jungian concepts of persona, individuation, and archetypes, works including Fleabag (2016-2019), Ladybird (2017), and The Queen’s Gambit (2020) as well as Disney productions such as Brave (2012), Moana (2016), and Frozen (2013), are contextualized and discussed alongside their non-screen precedents and contemporaries, including myths, fairy tales, and works of literature, to closely examine new patterns of the female journey. This book identifies how young female characters rebel against the female persona of previous eras through the trickster, the shadow, and other archetypes, comparing the contemporary female protagonist with her predecessors to assess the new paths, roles, and milestones available to her."
No real choice: How culture and politics matter for reproductive autonomy by Katrina Kimport
ISBN: 9781978817920
Publication Date: 2021
"Based on candid, in-depth interviews with women who considered but did not obtain an abortion, No Real Choice punctures the myth that American women have full autonomy over their reproductive choices. Focusing on the experiences of a predominantly Black and low-income group of women, sociologist Katrina Kimport finds that structural, cultural, and experiential factors can make choosing abortion impossible—especially for those who experience racism and class discrimination. Kimport's interviews reveal that even as activists fight to preserve Roe v. Wade, class and racial disparities have already curtailed many women's freedom of choice. Told with care and sensitivity, No Real Choice gives voice to women whose experiences are often overlooked in debates on abortion, illustrating how real reproductive choice is denied, for whom, and at what cost."
Scandalize my name: Black feminist practice and the making of black social life by Terrion L. Williamson
ISBN: 9780823274734
Publication Date: 2016
"From sapphire, mammy, and jezebel, to the angry Black woman, baby mama, and nappy-headed ho, Black female iconography has had a long and tortured history in public culture. The telling of this history has long occupied the work of Black female theorists—much of which has been foundational in situating Black women within the matrix of sociopolitical thought and practice in the United States. Scandalize My Name builds upon the rich tradition of this work while approaching the study of Black female representation as an opening onto a critical contemplation of the vagaries of Black social life."
Women's studies: The basics by Bonnie G. Smith

Women and Dionysus: Appearances and exile in history, culture, and myth by Maggy Anthony
ISBN: 9780429465796
Publication Date: 2020
"Women and Dionysus links repression of the Dionysian spirit in Western culture with the rise of the patriarchy over the course of two millennia. It effectively draws a connection between Dionysus and women throughout history, with examples from cultures both past and present, and the author's own experiences. Maggy Anthony explores Dionysus' role as god of the vine, creativity and passion, and his impact on art and literature. The book examines the Dionysian influence on creative older women, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Martha Graham and Marguerite Duras; examines Dionysus in mythology, history and religion; and considers connections to mysticism and the Renaissance. Anthony goes on to explore how women's expressions of creativity through healing, wine-drinking and dancing were condemned in history, and how modern African and Latin American rites contrast with Western traditions. Finally, the book looks at 'outbreaks' of modern Dionysian spirit - from Haight-Ashbury to the Burning Man festival - and speculates on its future."

Changing woman: A history of racial ethnic women in modern America by Karen Anderson
Call Number: E184.A1A673 1997 (Ladera)
ISBN: 0195117883
Publication Date: 1997
"While great strides have been made in documenting discrimination against women in America, our awareness of discrimination is due in large part to the efforts of a feminist movement dominated by middle-class white women, and is skewed to their experiences. Yet discrimination against racial ethnic women is in fact dramatically different—more complex and more widespread—and without a window into the lives of racial ethnic women our understanding of the full extent of discrimination against all women in America will be woefully inadequate. Karen Anderson offers the first book to examine the lives of women in the three main ethnic groups in the United States—Native American, Mexican American, and African American women—revealing the many ways in which these groups have suffered oppression, and the profound effects it has had on their lives."

The feminine case: Jung, aesthetics and creative process by Tessa Adams; Andrea Duncan (Editor)
Call Number: BF201.4 .F46 2003 (Lambert)
ISBN: 9781849403719
Publication Date: 2003
"The Feminine Case is a collection of papers that debate the issue of gender from a Jungian perspective. Particular attention is paid to the discussion of Jung's 'transcendent function' and what this offers women in the process of individualisation. Attention is also given to the revisionist work of James Hillman and to relevant issues found within post-Lacanian critique, principally in the works of Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray and Helene Cixous. The chapters deal with a range of issues and aim to promote further discussion. One theme discussed in the book is the way in which feminine language is formed within a masculine domain and how it can and is changing. Works of literature, notably those of Charlotte Bronte and 'The Tempest,' are explored and examined in conjunction with Jungian themes. The feminine in relation to the maternal, and in its lack of relation to the divine, are two other engaging topics discussed in this volume. This collection involves the reader in a welcome debate on the role of the feminine in the Jungian world."

ISBN: 9781138897823
Publication Date: 2016
Feminist Views from Somewhere: Post-Jungian Themes in Feminist Theory explores what and how Jungian thought contributes to feminist thinking. Broadly speaking, feminist thinking, or thinking by and about women as autonomous, intelligent and independent agents, has opened up scholarship through insightful, reflective critique and practice. This is the starting point of this collection from a range of theorists, interested in the multiple concerns of Jungian and analytical psychology. The contributors take a unique approach to Jungian thinking. Rather than focusing on its mythological aspects, the authors develop alternative, feminist approaches that enhance the appreciation of the possibilities for Jungian and post-Jungian studies. With a primarily theoretical orientation, the rigorous, critical approaches in the collection highlight the possibilities of imaginative Jungian theory."

The book makes systematic links between social conditions and psychological patterns, and identifies processes such as building strengths, cultivating creativity, and developing solidarity."
My soul is a woman: The feminine in Islam by Annemarie Schimmel; Susan H. Ray (Translator); Annemarie Schimmel
Call Number: BP173.4 .S36 1997 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0826410146
Publication Date: 1997
"Annemarie Schimmel examines a much-misunderstood feature of Islam: the role of women. Schimmel is critical of those—especially Western feminists—who take Islam to task without taking the time to comprehend the cultures, language, and traditions of the many societies in which Islam is the majority religion. Shattering stereotypes, Schimmel reconstructs an important but little-known chapter of Islamic spirituality. With copius examples, she shows the clear equality of women and men in the conception of the Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, the feminine language of the mystical tradition, and the role of holy mothers and unmarried women as manifestations of God. This work is studded with luminous texts from Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and particularly Indo-Muslim cultures, which reveal how physical love can give expression to the highest forms of mysticism."
A re-visioning of love: Dark feminine uprising by Ana Mozol
Call Number: BF201.4 .M69 2019 (Lambert and Ladera)
ISBN: 0367179156
Publication Date: 2019
"In A re-visioning of love: Dark feminine uprising, Ana Mozol parts the illusory veils of persona as she explores the reality of feminine experiences relating to love, trauma and sexuality in contemporary Western society. Mozol takes us on a personal journey through the three levels of experience, delving into the underworld and the trauma of rape, the middle world and the illusions of romantic love, and the upper world and the masculine spiritual ideals that fracture the feminine soul. In this multidisciplinary examination of the feminine, Mozol seeks to understand violence against women intrapsychically, interpersonally and within the field of depth psychology. Combining personal testimony, theoretical reflections, historical analysis, and 20 years of clinical experience, Mozol uses a heuristic approach to explore personal stories, clinical material, dreams and depth analysis as they connect to the female individuation process."
Women's aggressive fantasies: A post-Jungian exploration of self-hatred, love and agency by Sue Austin
Call Number: HQ1206 .A868 2005 (Lambert and Ladera)
ISBN: 9780203087008
Publication Date: 2005
Women's Aggressive Fantasies examines the roles of aggressive fantasies and impulses in contemporary women's lives. Such impulses have previously been overlooked by psychoanalysis, feminism and depth psychology when, Sue Austin argues, they should occupy a central position. Drawing together apparently disparate strands of theory from feminism, critical psychology, contemporary psychoanalysis and post-Jungian thought, this books succeeds in providing a new insight into the phenomenon of female violence and aggression. A collection of real life vignettes are used to demonstrate how the management of aggressive fantasies plays a significant role in women's self-experience and their position in society. These fascinating, moving and, at times, shocking, extracts demonstrate how aggressive fantasies become the basis for psychological, relational and moral growth. This book will help clinicians engage with the fantasies and draw out their therapeutic value."

Call Number: HQ1206 .R69 2019 (Ladera)
ISBN: 9781630516741
Publication Date: 2019
"Women, Stereotypes and Archetypes explores the complexity of modern woman's identity which is no longer supported by convenient but limiting stereotypes. The book tries to answer following questions: How do the women handle the confusion arising from such a loss? If stereotypes are rejected, can understanding of the meaning and function of the archetypes in human psyche offer the majority of women guidelines to a secure identity? Is an American woman's problem of identity different from that of a woman of another culture? And finally, where does all this change and crisis lead? Examples from the author's analytical practice of 40 years and life-long anthropological research and teaching are used to support her observations and conclusions."

"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species.

Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul."

Feminist theory and the body: A reader by Janet Price; Margrit Shildrick
ISBN: 0585102805
Publication Date: 1999
"Without the body there would be no feminist theory. And it's possible to say that without feminist theory there would be no modern 'body.' The body has long been a contested site in feminist circles. From debates about motherhood, pregnancy, and abortion, discussions of pleasure and sex, to more philosophical discussions of embodiment and the gendering of bodies, the major thinkers of feminist theory have reshaped our ideas of how women and men understand what the body is. In Feminist Theory and the Body Price and Shildrick bring together over 40 of the world's greatest feminist writers to represent the key arguments from all of the different feminist schools of thought on the body."

The Oxford handbook of feminist theology by Sheila Briggs & Mary McClintock Fulkerson (Eds.)
ISBN: 9780199273881
Publication Date: 2012
"This innovative volume highlights the relevance of globalization and the insights of gender studies and religious studies for feminist theology. Beginning with a discussion of position of the discipline at the turn of the twenty-first century, the handbook seeks to present an inclusive account of feminist theology in the early twenty-first century that acknowledges the reflection of women on religion beyond the global North and its forms of Christianity. Globalization is taken as the central theme, as the foremost characteristic of the context in which we do feminist theology today. The volume traces the impacts of globalization on gender and religion in specific geographical contexts, describing the implications for feminist theological thinking. A final section explores the changing contents of the field, moving towards new models of theology, distinct from both the structure and language of traditional Christian systematic theology and the forms of secular feminism. The handbook draws on material from several religious traditions and every populated continent, with chapters provided by a diverse team of international scholars."
The SAGE handbook of feminist theory by Marsha Henry; Hazel Johnstone; Sumi Madhok; Ania Plomien; Sadie Wearing; Mary Evans; Clare Hemmings (Eds.)
ISBN: 9781446252413
Publication Date: 2014
"At no point in recorded history has there been an absence of intense, and heated, discussion about the subject of how to conduct relations between women and men. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide to these omnipresent issues and debates, mapping the present and future of thinking about feminist theory. The chapters gathered here present the state of the art in scholarship in the field, covering: Epistemology and marginality; Literary, visual and cultural representations; Sexuality; Macro and microeconomics of gender; and Conflict and peace. The authors bring a shared commitment to the critical appraisal of gender relations, as well as a recognition that to think 'theoretically' is not to detach concerns from lived experience but to extend the possibilities of understanding. With this focus on theory and theorizing about the world in which we live, this handbook... is an essential reference work for advanced students and academics not only of feminist theory, but of gender and sexuality across the humanities and social sciences."

Sexual Violence Awareness Education, Prevention and Supports

#MeToo and beyond: Perspectives on a global movement by M. Cristina Alcalde; Paula-Irene Villa (Eds.)
ISBN: 9780813195599
Publication Date: 2022
"In #MeToo and Beyond, M. Cristina Alcalde and Paula-Irene Villa bring together scholars and activists from various backgrounds to approach #MeToo from multiple spaces, positionalities, and areas of expertise, many from regions and contexts often overlooked and understudied in the mediascapes of the global North. This volume includes perspectives from around the world and touches on diverse topics spanning masculinity studies, transgender people's heightened risk of suffering sexual harassment and violence, the internal conflict in American Jewish communities as activists began speaking out against prominent members who relied on shared cultural values to shame their victims, as well as many other significant aspects of the first all-inclusive international effort to end gender-based violence. The editors and contributors heed Burke's call to amplify marginalized voices so that instead of becoming footnotes, these voices guide activists to frame polyphony as central to understanding past, current, and future forms of gender-based violence and resistance."
Abused women and survivor therapy: A practical guide for the psychotherapist by Lenore E. A. Walker
ISBN: 9781557987662
Publication Date: 1994
"In this treatment manual, Lenore E.A. Walker contends that traditional psychotherapies for trauma victims have been insufficient in treating abused women. As the problem of violence against women continues to plague society, cutting across all demographic sectors, Walker describes critical modifications to traditional practice that will allow practitioners to work more effectively with female victims of abuse. These modifications result in an integrated compilation of the most successful assessment and intervention strategies, called survivor therapy."
Choices women make: Agency in domestic violence, assisted reproduction, and sex work by Carisa R. Showden
ISBN: 9780816655953
Publication Date: 2011
"Combining theoretical and empirical perspectives, Carisa R. Showden investigates what exactly makes an agent and how that agency influences the ways women make inherently sensitive and difficult choices—specifically in instances of domestic violence, assisted reproduction, and sex work. In Showden's analysis, women's agency emerges as an individual and social construct, rooted in concrete experience, complex and changing over time. She traces the development and deployment of agency, illustrating how it plays out in the messy workings of imperfect lives. In a series of case studies, she considers women within situations of intimate partner violence, reproductive decision making, and sex work such as prostitution and pornography. Each narrative offers insight into how women articulate their self-understanding and political needs in relation to the pressures they confront."

New versions of victims: Feminists struggle with the concept by Sharon Lamb (Editor)
ISBN: 9780814751527
Publication Date: 1999
"It is increasingly difficult to use the word 'victim' these days without facing either ridicule for 'crying victim' or criticism for supposed harshness toward those traumatized. Some deny the possibility of 'recovering' repressed memories of abuse, or consider date rape an invention of whining college students. At the opposite extreme, others contend that women who experience abuse are 'survivors' likely destined to be psychically wounded for life. While the debates rage between victims' rights advocates and 'backlash' authors, the contributors to New Versions of Victims collectively argue that we must move beyond these polarizations to examine the 'victim' as a socially constructed term and to explore, in nuanced terms, why we see victims the way we do."
No safe haven: Male violence against women at home, at work, and in the community by Mary P. Koss; Lisa A. Goodman; Angela Browne; Louise Fitzgerald; Gwendolyn P. Keita; Nancy F. Russo
ISBN: 1557982376
Publication Date: 1994
"Male violence against women is a major source of fear, distress and injury for women, crossing lines of ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation and age. Indeed, despite the under-reporting of statistics, acts of violence are everyday events in women's lives, and these acts exert insidious influence even on those individuals who are not direct targets."
Preventing sexual violence: How society should cope with sex offenders by John Q. La Fond
ISBN: 1591471729
Publication Date: 2005
"Preventing Sexual Violence: How Society Should Cope With Sex Offenders systematically critiques the current treatment of sex offenders in an effort to determine how best to prevent reoffending without infringing on the rights of citizens. The book offers the latest data about sex offenders and the novel and powerful legal measures enacted to prevent sexual violence. In recent years, states have initiated programs for sex offenders involving involuntary commitment, mandatory registration, community notification, and even chemical castration. The author identifies which new strategies work, which strategies are based on false assumptions, and which should be modified or abandoned. In addition to recommending ways to improve programs, the author focuses on an effective risk management program that could be expanded and reproduced nationwide."
Sand therapy for out of control sexual behavior, shame, and trauma: Treatment approaches beyond words by Peg Hurley Dawson
ISBN: 9781003388302
Publication Date: 2024
"This book is designed to educate sex therapists and mental health professionals on the power of using sand when treating sexual issues, providing guidance in accessing their clients’ unconscious to seek new ways of healing. Uniquely integrating sex therapy with sand therapy, Dawson describes how understanding and applying non-pathological theories and neuroscience to different modalities, such as Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal Theory, can help clients move forward from shame, sexual dysfunctions, and trauma. The book begins by introducing how therapists can use sand as a doorway into using metaphor and imagery in their practice, with information on how the nervous system keeps somatic experiences trapped in the body being explored. Written in an easy, accessible style, the book also includes handouts, belief cards, and case studies throughout to help therapists see the benefits of using sand with clients in practice."

By providing such extensive coverage, the volume also offers readers a guide to the very nature and extent of sexual violence and its consequences."
Talking about sexual assault: Society's response to survivors by Sarah E. Ullman
ISBN: 9781433836312
Publication Date: 2023
"This second edition provides a comprehensive, social ecological review of women's rape and sexual assault disclosures and how support providers can better respond to them and challenge rape culture. Women who have been raped and sexually assaulted are often retraumatized by negative social reactions from family and friends, healthcare professionals, institutions, and society at large. New to this edition is updated research addressing social media, social phenomena like the MeToo movement, and informal supporters' experiences with survivors. While most research still focuses on White, heterosexual, and cisgender women, emerging findings on LGBTQ+ individuals, cis males, people of color, and people with disabilities are reviewed where available."
Violence against women during coronavirus: When staying home isn't safe by Naomi Pfitzner; Kate Fitz-Gibbon; Sandra Walklate; Silke Meyer; Marie Segrave
ISBN: 9783031293559
Publication Date: 2023
"This open access book brings together leading international violence researchers to examine the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on experiences of, and responses to, domestic and family violence. In April 2020 the United Nations predicted that for every three months the COVID-19 lockdowns continued, an additional 15 million cases of domestic violence would occur worldwide, termed the 'shadow pandemic.' Drawing on empirical work situated within an international context, this book presents evidence alongside country-specific case studies to provide a global exploration of how women's insecurity increased during this global health crisis at the same that their access to support services reduced. The key focus is on the nature, extent, and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic on service delivery, accessibility of support, and access to justice for women experiencing domestic and family violence."
Wounds of the spirit: Black women, violence, and resistance ethics by Traci C. West
ISBN: 0814793347
Publication Date: 1999
"In Wounds of the Spirit, Traci West employs first person accounts—from slave narratives to contemporary interviews to Tina Turner's autobiography—to document a historical legacy of violence against Black women in the United States. West, a Black feminist Christian ethicist, situates spiritual matters within a discussion of the psycho-social impact of intimate assault against African American women. Distinctive for its treatment of the role of the church in response to violence against African American women, the book identifies specific social mechanisms which contribute to the reproduction of intimate violence. West insists that cultural beliefs as well as institutional practices must be altered if we are to combat the reproduction of violence, and suggests methods of resistance which can be utilized by victim-survivors, those in the helping professions, and the church."

Aftermath: Violence and the remaking of a self by Susan J. Brison
Call Number: HV6558 .B75 2002 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0691016194
Publication Date: 2001
"On July 4, 1990, while on a morning walk in southern France, Susan Brison was attacked from behind, severely beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled to unconsciousness, and left for dead. She survived, but her world was destroyed. Her training as a philosopher could not help her make sense of things, and many of her fundamental assumptions about the nature of the self and the world it inhabits were shattered. At once a personal narrative of recovery and a philosophical exploration of trauma, this bravely and beautifully written book examines the undoing and remaking of a self in the aftermath of violence. It explores, from an interdisciplinary perspective, memory and truth, identity and self, autonomy and community. It offers imaginative access to the experience of a rape survivor as well as a reflective critique of a society in which women routinely fear and suffer sexual violence."
Faith born of seduction: Sexual trauma, body image, and religion by Jennifer L. Manlowe
Call Number: BV4596.A25M36 1995 (Lambert and Ladera)
ISBN: 0814755291
Publication Date: 1995
"How do survivors of sexual and domestic violence relate to religion and to a higher power? What are the social and religious contexts that sustain and encourage eating disorders in women? How do these issues intersect? The relationship between Christian religious discourse, incest, and eating disorders reveals an important, and so far unexamined, psychosocial phenomenon. Drawing from interviews with incest survivors whose sexual and religious backgrounds are intimately connected with their problematic relationship with food, Jennifer Manlowe here illuminates the connections between female body, weight, and appetite preoccupations. Manlowe offers social and psychological insights into the most common forms of female suffering—incest and body hatred. The volume is intended as a resource for professionals, advocates, friends of survivors, and most importantly, the survivor of incest herself as she attempts to understand the links of meaning in her mind between her incest experience and her subsequent eating disorder."

Male victims of sexual assault by Gillian C. Mezey; Michael B. King (Eds.)
Call Number: HV6569.G7M35 2000 (Lambert)
ISBN: 0192629328
Publication Date: 2000
"Since the first edition of Male Victims of Sexual Assault was published in 1992 there have been significant developments in our understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of the sexual assault of men. The first edition was influential in affording legal recognition to male victims of rape in England and Wales and this has resulted in raised awareness of the problem and improved attitudes among all those responsible for dealing with the victims. This recognition has gone some way to breaking down the taboo, and has allowed the discussion to move on and address the important issues of prevention, care and treatment. Mezey and King are experienced forensic psychiatrists with longstanding interests in domestic and sexual violence. They present original research material, which makes a unique contribution to our knowledge about men's experiences of sexual victimization."

ISBN: 1855750120
Publication Date: 1995
"This book is about the experience of individuals who have been abused or who have abused others, but it also traces the way an abusive experience can organize a family or professional system so that changes are difficult to achieve. The author has been in the forefront of the child abuse field for many years, and he discusses in this volume the way his thinking has changed to incorporate the ideas from the feminist movement and the constructionist family therapists. He looks at the way victimizing actions and the traumatic effects of abuse combine to create a trauma-organized system, which includes the individual, the family, the professional helpers, the community, and the cultural values. The author describes the characteristics of these systems and a diagnostic procedure to help the workers plan the treatment."
