The authors analyse the unique challenges posed by contradictions between cultural values and modern sexual expression in the region. They examine a broad range of topics such as conceptions of gender roles in primary school children, sexual behavior and emotional social intelligence in adolescents, and sexual identities and orientations in adults. Chapters cover issues including how women who have sex with women (WSWs) self-identify, the 'Lebenswelt' (life world) of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Jamaica, transsexual care and its psychological impact, the influence of music on sexuality, how intimacy is defined, as well as the relationship between identity formation and the fear of intimacy in Jamaica, and the practice of polyamory in Jamaica and Trinidad. This distinctive collection is the first of its kind, grounded in both qualitative and quantitative research. It presents a sophisticated comparative analyses of the cultures of the Anglophone Caribbean represented by Trinidad, Jamaica and Barbados to offer a broader discussions of intimacy and relationships. With practical implications for therapy, it will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners of gender and sexuality studies, psychology and culture. . 606 $aSexual behavior 606 $aSexual psychology 606 $aSex (Psychology) 606 $aGender expression 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aCross-cultural psychology 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aSexual Behavior$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20080 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090 606 $aPsychosocial Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20220 606 $aCross Cultural Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20100 606 $aQueer Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35020 615 0$aSexual behavior. 615 0$aSexual psychology. 615 0$aSex (Psychology). 615 0$aGender expression. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aCross-cultural psychology. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 14$aSexual Behavior. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aPsychosocial Studies. 615 24$aCross Cultural Psychology. 615 24$aQueer Theory. 676 $a972.9 702 $aCarpenter$b Karen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254805803321 996 $aInterweaving Tapestries of Culture and Sexuality in the Caribbean$91562590 997 $aUNINA
