Female-Perpetrated Sex Abuse is a groundbreaking study into gender, sexuality and victimhood. It examines the cultural conditions of possibility for FSA victimhood as a means to advance contemporary critical understandings of the role of gender and sexuality as instruments of modern power. As the first direct exploration of FSA victimhood, this book analyses:why victims of FSA remain so underexplored and invisible as objects of human science knowledge;the limited and overly rigid discourses in local and global psychological theory and practice that continues to treat particular subjects as 'victim worthy' through paradigms that construct victimhood as gendered; andthe possibility of new discourses that could disrupt normative understandings of gender, sexuality, and power in sex abuse, and as constitutive to the beginnings of a counter-knowledge on transgressive sexualities. By tracing the historical and cultural conditions of the emergence of FSA broadly and FSA victimhood specifically, Kramer illustrates how deeply engrained constructions of gender and sexuality both produce and constrain the possibilities for reporting, disclosing and self-identifying victimhood. Female-Perpetrated Sex Abuseis essential reading for academics, researchers and students alike, in the areas of psychology, sociology, gender studies, criminology, counselling and social work. | Female-perpetrated Sex Abuse by Sherianne Kramer, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
