Adina Nack, a medical sociologist who specializes in sexual health and social psychology, conducted in-depth interviews with 43 women about their identities and sexuality in regards to chronic illness. The result is a fascinating book about an issue that affects over 15 million Americans, but is all too little discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Damaged Goods\" adds to our knowledge of how women are affected by living with chronic STDs and reveals the stages of their sexual- self transformation. From the anxiety of being diagnosed with an STD to issues of blame and shame, Nack-herself diagnosed with a cervical HPV infection-shows why these women feeling that they are damaged goods, question future relationships, marriage, and their ability to have healthy children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adina Nack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1592137075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592137077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adina Nack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427587342591,"sku":"9781592137077","price":71.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8155765-8ed8-4c41-aacc-82d9e0698fa8.jpg?v=1761580314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/damaged-goods-adina-nack-9781592137077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
