A survey of social workers' attitudes and use of body and sex psychotherapies

Summary This article has indicated the use, and attitudes toward use, of newer, perhaps questionable, treatment modes by social workers and has considered some related problems. It suggests that it is imperative for the profession to begin exploring these problems and developing forums, instruments, and mechanisms whereby the issues can be addressed and policy formulated and implemented.The author wishes to acknowledge the assistance of graduate social work students Ronald Bailey, Sally King, Colleen McGuigan, Barbara Sejnoski, and David Stout, on questionnaire construction and evaluation.
