The Routledge International Handbook of Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health is the authoritative reference work on important, leading-edge developments in the domains of women’s sexual and reproductive health.The handbook adopts a life-cycle approach to examine key milestones and events in women’s sexual and reproductive health. Contributors drawn from a range of disciplines, including psychology, medicine, nursing and midwifery, sociology, public health, women’s studies, and indigenous studies, explore issues through three main lenses: the biopsychosocial model feminist perspectives international, multidisciplinary perspectives that acknowledge the intersection of identities in women’s lives. The handbook presents an authoritative review of the field, with a focus on state-of-the-art work, encouraging future research and policy development in women’s sexual and reproductive health. Finally, the handbook will inform health care providers about the latest research and clinical developments, including women’s experiences of both normal and abnormal sexual and reproductive functions.Drawing upon international expertise from leading academics and clinicians in the field, this is essential reading for scholars and students interested in women’s reproductive health.

This book uses an intersectional theoretical framework to explore LGBTQI cancer, survivorship, and care, and engages with a unique psychosocial approach. Given the increasing recognition of LGBTQI communities as an underserved population in cancer care, and the need to provide tailored and culturally-sensitive care to these communities, this book is a timely and comprehensive guide for those wishing to understand LGBTQI patient and caregiver experiences and concerns and how these may be addressed in cancer care. The research on which the book is based addresses key limitations of the literature to date, including a lack of research on trans, intersex, adolescent and young adult, and carer experiences, and an overwhelming focus on breast and prostate cancers. The authors aim to identify and understand the complex intersection of gender, sexual identity, age, and other categories of difference, in relation to the cancer survivorship and care experiences of LGBTQI individuals, across a range of sexual identities, cancer types, and age groups. They ascertain barriers and facilitators to the delivery of culturally competent cancer communication and care to LGBTQI patients through an audit of guidelines and resources, and via the perspective of service providers. And finally, they aim to Synthesise and implement these findings into recommendations for tailored support materials for LGBTQI survivors and carers, and LGBTQI cancer best practice and policy recommendations. This is a valuable resource for LGBTQI researchers in Psychology, Queer theory, Social Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences, Social Work, Gender Studies, Oncology. It will be of interest to researchers and clinicians, and LGBTQI people with cancer.

This book provides an overview of research and practice dealing with the specific needs of gay and bisexual men living with prostate cancer, as well as the special psychosocial needs of their partners. The intention is twofold: to provide insight into the unique experiences and concerns of gay or bisexual men living with prostate cancer in order to inform and assist future research, clinical practice and supportive care, and policy; and to ensure that the needs of gay and bisexual men are recognized and advanced on the mainstream prostate cancer agenda. Featuring both cutting-edge research and powerful portraits of gay and bisexual men living with prostate cancer, this book will be indispensable for health care, oncology, and mental health practitioners who seek to address their specific experiences and challenges.
