Working With Sexual Issues in Systemic Therapy.

This study investigates ways in which systemic psychotherapists address sexual issues. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured group and individual interviews and analysed using discourse analysis. Particular attention was paid to participants' accounts of the resources' they draw on and of perceived constraints when approaching the subject of sex. Main findings indicate that systemic training and practice would benefit from greater inclusion of sexual issues to overcome current deficiencies in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
