James, <strong>50</strong> <strong>Shades</strong> <strong>of</strong> Grey The recent “<strong>50</strong> <strong>Shades</strong>” trilogy authored by E.L. James has created a widespread interest in exploring the world <strong>of</strong> BDSM. Although many readers may be intrigued and fascinated by this phenomenon that James has introduced to the general population, one must also understand that this is a work <strong>of</strong> fiction and many details surrounding the world <strong>of</strong> BDSM were not portrayed in an accurate light. This training will reflectively explore the novel “<strong>50</strong> <strong>Shades</strong> <strong>of</strong> Grey” and bring to light the issues <strong>of</strong> power & control, communication skills, healthy relationships, and personal safety related to the topic <strong>of</strong> BDSM and all other sexual relationships. It will also provide pr<strong>of</strong>essionals with the tools to appropriately convey this information to the populations they serve, with a specific focus on teenagers and young adults.
