Alessandra Lanti: Supporting Sex Workers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Sex work has often been maligned, stigmatized, and plagued by damaging myths about the industry and the people involved in it. This even extends to the care professionals who aim to support sex workers, as unconscious bias and assumptions can lead to unintended harm and reluctance to seek help when needed.

This book combines years of research, lived experience, and interviews with clinicians and sex workers to provide guidance that will actually make a difference in clients' lives. It highlights the way systemic oppression and unexamined biases affect treatment, and how care professionals of all types can make their practice more accessible and effective for sex workers.

Essential reading for therapists, health professionals, and anyone who wants to fight sex work stigma, these guidelines offer a practical way to break away from the condescending assumptions of the past and provide safe, affirming support for sex workers.
