by Daniel N. WatterThe first of its kind, this book applies existential principles to sexual problems, providing clinicians with the tools to understand male sexuality more deeply.

Subsequent chapters explore an existential view of male sexual dysfunction, non-sexual trauma, hypersexuality, changing bodies through illness, age, and injury, and examines badly behaved men to understand the meaning of certain behaviors.

The Expanded Family Life Cycle: Individual, Family, and Social Perspectives, 3rd Edition
by Betty Carter Monica McgoldrickHow does one define the concept of "family"? Is it primarily a biological link, or purely a social construction? Can it be a combination of both? Does it have to be? In this age of single parents, alternative lifestyles, and joint custody, "family" has become a fluid term which reflects a sweeping change in society -- from the rigid structure of the nuclear family to a more diverse and inclusive circle of people that one refers to as family.

Some issues with expanded focus include race, class, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, spirituality, politics, work, time, community, values, and belief systems.
