Stefani Goerlich, PhD is a Clinical Sexologist and Forensic Social Worker who writes, teaches, and presents on topics related to gender, sexuality and relationship diversities. She has written four award-winning books on BDSM/kink and mental health and lectures on Sexual Trauma, Trauma-Informed Care, Sexual Dysfunction and Differences, and Digital Sexual Health at both the Universities of Minnesota and Michigan, as well as maintaining a private practice in Metro Detroit. Stefani’s primary areas of academic interest are in social perceptions of deviance and how we conceptualize healthy sexuality and relationships, how these conceptualizations shift over time, and how they impact people (particularly erotic minorities) in forensic and clinical settings. In addition to critical/transformational approaches to forensic sexology, her secondary areas of interest include the intersection of intimacy and technology and psychotherapy for/with religious minorities.
