This course is a refresher on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders as postulated in DSM-IV-TR. Sexual Dysfunctions and Gender Identity Disorders will be discussed to serve as a review of what type of dysfunctions and disorders are there. Paraphilias will be discussed in great details because certain paraphilias and some people who suffer from them, those people who are rightfully called sexual offenders have brought about prevalent social problems, which have significant social and emotional tolls to the community, the victims and their families. Thus, mental health professionals and social workers in general will learn the most current scholarly findings on this issue as they take this course.
