What is it about?

In order to provide culturally competent care, this paper discusses how to provide inclusive, sex positive training in clinical and counseling psychology.

Why is it important?
Sexuality is a major aspect of one’s life. Therefore, it is important for psychologists to understand their clients’ experiences with sexuality to provide ethical and competent care.
Perspectives
I hope this article encourages training programs to provide more inclusive training on sex and sexuality. This article can aid in creating a more inclusive view of sexuality that celebrates diverse sexual expressions, practices, and identities.
