Synopsis:

For undergraduate courses in Human Sexuality, Marriage and Family, Intimate Relationships, Love and Intimacy With an interpersonal focus, Hock's Human Sexuality emphasizes the choice, awareness and responsibility that is integral to a planned, proactive, and well-educated sexual philosophy. Using an interpersonal, psycho-social foundation that approaches core content from a student perspective, this text focuses on the topics that are most critical and of greatest relevance to the students' diverse personal lives and their interactions with others. Written in a casual, easy-to-read, conversational style that will help them be more comfortable with and more connected to the course material, Roger Hock encourages and challenges students to consolidate the ideas and knowledge gained from the text into the growth of his or her personal sexual philosophy.

About the Author: Roger Hock has been teaching psychology for over 20 years and human sexuality for over 15 years. Human sexuality is his favorite class to teach and is consistently one of the most popular among students. He believes that Human Sexuality is an essential course for college students because the topics covered are fundamental to our lives and our identities as humans. He has been known to “declare” that, if he had the power to do so, he would make the human sexuality course a requirement for all undergraduate college and university students. Why? Because the material in this course touches everyone, in countless ways, throughout their lives. But, more importantly, most students, upon entering college as adults, are lacking a correct and current understanding of at least some, if not many, key issues that comprise the complexities of humans as sexual beings. Sex education in grades K-12 is frequently incomplete, inadequate, and even misleading, and not all parents are willing or able to impart the necessary and correct information to their children. Students in higher education clearly need and deserve the knowledge they acquire in this class.
