Required Course Materials including Texts

Students are responsible for additional information and materials (i.e., Power Point files, media, etc.) distributed through CAMS and in class.

NOTE: Some of the reading for this course does not come from a specifically Christian perspective. Some of it may be inconsistent with the statement of beliefs for RGU and the Institute for Sexual Wholeness. This reading is required because it is representative of the thought in the field of sex therapy and sexology. Time will be spent in class discussing the reading and critiquing it from a Biblical Christian perspective that is in line with the stated theology of RGU and ISW. This list is subject to change.
