Taskforce on BDSM
A Task Force of the American Psychological Association's Division 44 (Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity), dedicated to research, education, clinical work, and advocacy related to BDSM/kink. The BDSM Task Force works to advance the understanding and ethical treatment of individuals who engage in consensual BDSM practices. We focus on four key areas of activity to support both the BDSM community and mental health professionals: Research, Education, Clinical Work and Advocacy.
