Kink-Affirming Practice is a valuable guide for clinicians to ethically and effectively integrate BDSM identities and practices into treatment planning, creative interventions, and client self-care, with a focus on positive behavioral changes and power exchange dynamics. It discusses the foundations of BDSM, kink-affirming practice, integrating identities, dominant/submissive personas, caregiving kink, risk assessment, ethical and health boundary setting, informed consent, and the unique issues that arise when clinicians catch themselves romancing the kink.

Kink-Affirming Practice is a comprehensive guide for clinicians seeking to ethically and effectively incorporate elements of their clients' BDSM identities and practices into their treatment planning, creative interventions, and client self-care. By embracing an anthropological understanding of this diverse yet marginalized community, as well as a sex-positive approach to mental health, Stefani Goerlich recognizes the ways in which specific power exchange dynamics can evoke positive behavioral changes in clients. Chapters delve into the foundations of BDSM, define kink-affirming practice, explore the purpose of claiming power and ceding control, integrate and reclaim identities, discuss dominant/submissive personas, and highlight the benefits of caregiving kink, such as pet play. The book also provides practical guidance on conducting a kink-affirming risk assessment, addressing ethical and health boundary setting, obtaining informed consent, and navigating the unique issues that arise when clinicians find themselves romancing the kink.
This book is an invaluable resource for professionals working with clients who engage in BDSM activities, including marriage and family therapists, sex therapists, clinical social workers, and counselors. It is also suitable for students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate-level human sexuality and sexuality courses. By integrating the knowledge and insights provided in Kink-Affirming Practice, clinicians can enhance their ability to provide compassionate and effective care to individuals who embrace their BDSM identities and practices.
