Description: Female - Perpetrated Sex Abuse is a groundbreaking study into gender sexuality and victimhood. It examines the cultural conditions of possibility for FS a 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 FS a victimhood this book analyses: why victims of FS a 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; and the 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 FS a broadly and FS a 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 Abuse is essential reading for academics researchers and students alike in the areas of psychology sociology gender studies criminology counselling and social work.
