Course/Module description:
Adolescence is characterized by an encounter with the world of sexuality. Social workers working with youth are required to be a reliable address for work and mentoring adolescents around issues related to everyday sexuality.
This course will deal with theoretical and practical aspects of everyday sexuality and will discuss the range of topics that concern adolescents and professionals, from sexual identity and its development, through sexual scripts, pornography, sexual identity and more. The course will present current research in the field and classical theories. In addition, the course will deal with the practical aspects of working with teenagers around these topics, such as dealing with embarrassment, erotic transference and more.
