The Routledge International Handbook of Sex Therapy and Religion is an invaluable resource for clinicians, religious scholars, clergy, and anyone interested in the intersection of religion and sexual health. By weaving together psychological theories, religious ethics, and cultural competence, this volume provides a holistic approach to sex therapy that honors the faith and values of diverse religious traditions. This handbook is not only a testament to the importance of integrating religious and cultural perspectives in therapeutic practice but also a vital tool for religious scholars and clergy in understanding and addressing sexual health issues within their communities. It serves as a call to action for greater competency in addressing the complex needs of religious clients in matters of sex, sexuality, and gender.
