“The authors explore current debates, implications for psychology and the world, and potential directions for future research. Important points are highlighted for students, academics, and applied professionals. … The book’s organized and accessible presentation makes it an efficient and highly usable reference. … I also appreciate the authors’ candor in identifying certain issues and identities that are largely invisible in existing psychological research. This would be a strong purchase for any library.” (Karla J. Strand, Resources for Gender and Women's Studies: A Feminist Review, Vol. 39 (1), 2018)

“The Palgrave Handbook of the Psychology of Sexuality and Gender … provides a lucid and comprehensive overview of gender and sexuality from a psychological perspective. … The result is a collection that is comprehensive, cohesive, and highly informative. I recommend it for individuals who want to get up-to-date on gender and sexuality, as well as for graduateor advanced undergraduate courses on these topics.” (Eileen L. Zurbriggen, Sex Roles, Vol. 76, 2017)
