"A truly comprehensive resource, Teaching about Sexuality is the first work I've seen that combines theory and practice in such a thorough and comprehensive way. So clearly written, so extensive in building the understanding of how and under what conditions students learn best and so thorough in integrating theory and practice that it should be required reading for both seasoned and new sexuality and HIV educators."

"At last! A comprehensive resource book that successfully integrates the theory and practice of sexuality education. Teaching about Sexuality provides a much needed text for the field and will become a daily companion for all of us who are committed to providing education that enables people to understand, make wise decisions about, and celebrate their sexuality." Peggy Brick, Director of Education, Planned Parenthood of Greater Northern New Jersey
"Teaching about Sexuality should be required reading for everyone teaching about sexuality...or any of its component issues, such as abstinence, sexual harassment and HIV. This book is thoughtful and scholarly and, at the same time, very practical. It is a sorely needed reference volume for a profession under justifiable, but daunting, scrutiny. Hedgepeth and Helmich deserve our thanks for delivering so current, so complete and so helpful a text." Beth Reis, author of Family Life and Sexual Health
