Human Sexuality
Personality and Social Psychological Perspectives
- Craig A. Hill - Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne
“Human Sexuality” offers an appealing synthesis of the social, bio- and differential psychological aspects of sex research. Its additional focus on developmental psychological ascendants, the cultural and/or religious contexts and a historical course of human sexuality makes it stand out favorably from other volumes about this topic.
Furthermore, it shouldn’t go unmentioned that “Human sexuality” is a very student-friendly and learner-oriented book that’s fun to work with, thanks to its numerous exercises, real life examples and attractive pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in an overview of the different facets of sex research and the empirical knowledge researchers in this field have gathered throughout the last decades.
This book is useful for practitioners to extend their understanding of the wide and complex issues in sexual health.
A valuable ressource with respect to human sexuality. Similar textbooks in German language concerning sexuality form a social viewpoint are not easy to find. So, this textbook is great for students.
Layout & Design: Could be a bit more lively/modern.
Very valuable book with detail yet still within grasp for undergraduates. I would have considered this text essential if it weren't for the price tag which is a bit hefty for my students. But I will definitely strongly suggest that they do get the book if they can afford it.
An informative text that engages students from the outset. A wide range of topics are covered which demonstrates how multi-disciplinary this textbook is. Highly recommended to those not just studying Psychology but also Youth Studies and Criminology.
I like the emphasis on the broader psychological views of sexuality. This books reads more like a psychology textbook and not a health/biology text and will be much more applicable in my course.
This text is takes the most purely academic approach without being offensive. There is a diversity of topics and it has a balanced approach to controversial issues.
