{"title":"Tantra with a Twist: application of an ancient spiritual practice for modern relational communication","authors":"Markie L. C. Twist","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2022.2148898","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2022.2148898","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The practice of Tantra is believed to have started in the middle of the first millennium CE [common or current era] in what is now India. What we know of Tantra today has been primarily preserved through the works of the Kama Sutra and the Ananga Ranga. It was not until the 1960s, however, that Tantric practices became more well known in Western societies, and have become increasingly popular since. What is troubling about the predominant Westernization of Tantra is that it has frequently taken on a form of appropriation rather than application from a positionality of cultural genuineness or humility. For instance, much of the aim of Tantric practices in Eastern cultural contexts has focused on spiritual growth, however, in Western contexts the focus has been more on sexual improvement. This kind of misunderstanding ends up minimizing the powerful part that Tantra can play in people’s relational lives. Despite the value placed upon Tantra by practitioners and professionals alike, there is very little scholarly literature supporting its use, and there have been few updates to the understanding of Tantra since the waves of Westernization that have previously occurred. To address these identified gaps, the author, who has been studying Tantra-informed practices and hosting related workshops nationally and internationally for over five years, will discuss Tantric-informed practices through an informed position, including: the scholarly-based brief history of Tantra, Westernization and related waves of Tantra, a reflection on ideas of appropriation versus application, describing and discussing modern applications of Tantra that are rooted in the original intention of connection, integration, and relational communication, including an overview of the techniques and strategies shared in the author’s workshops, as well as how such practices can be modified and applied for informed use in the practicing of sex therapy.","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89792612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Special Issue on “Sexuality, Religion, and Spirituality”","authors":"Mark A. Levand","doi":"10.1080/14681994.2022.2146329","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14681994.2022.2146329","url":null,"abstract":"It is widely discussed in the sexuality studies literature that sexuality is a fundamental part of the human experience (World Association for Sexual Health, 2014; World Health Organization, 2015). Religion, spirituality, and faith are components that many scholars including health researchers, also identify as integral to the human experience (Norcross & Wampold, 2011; Sulmasy, 2002). Researchers have noted in recent years that mental health clinicians should be better prepared to address clients’ religious/spiritual needs (Marterella & Brock, 2008; Vieten et al., 2013; Williams-Reade et al., 2019; Xu, 2016). This special issue of the journal of Sexual and Relationship Therapy is intended to help address this client need, contributing to the literature at the intersection of sexuality, therapy, faith, religion, and spirituality. While spirituality, faith, and/or religion can be seen as helpful factors in a person’s life, they may also generate additional struggles (Dollahite et al., 2018). The articles in this issue address the intersection of sexuality and religion/spirituality in a number of ways. Authors examine various religion-based harms (i.e., sexual shame) and their effects on individuals, families, and communities. Many of these articles also address the good religion, faith, or spirituality can bring to someone’s life and how to work with this as a powerful ally in therapy. Some of the pieces contained in this issue are commentaries about the possible beneficial or harmful intersections of these topics. This issue also contains research articles discussing client needs and the potentially useful strategies for working around concepts at the intersection of sexuality and religion. These articles more clearly identify phenomena at the intersection of religion and sexuality, and sometimes clarify religious concepts or rituals largely misunderstood by non-practitioners of that religion. As a different type of article from those mentioned above, readers will find within this issue reflections on spiritual practices that may be useful in the therapeutic process. Reframing religious concepts and offering useful reflective practices can offer readers possible avenues and new tools when working with a client’s religion, faith, or spirituality. While these articles do directly address the intersection of sexuality and religion/ spirituality, readers should be aware of the limits of their usefulness. The information contained within these manuscripts can be meaningful for individuals or even groups of people, but readers should be cautious not to overgeneralize. A person’s spiritual or religious practice may be the same as others in their community, but there may be great variability and profound uniqueness in how people practice their faith, believe various teachings, or live out their religious commitment, even within a","PeriodicalId":47131,"journal":{"name":"Sexual and Relationship Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89710052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
