'''Hani Miletski''' (born 1962) is a [[sexology|sexologist]], and [[sex therapy|sex therapist]] living in [[Bethesda, Maryland]], [[USA]]. She specializes as a trainer and supervisor in the field, in [[sex addiction]], and also works within the [[criminal justice]] system.

==Early life==
Miletski was born in [[Israel]], and according to her website, moved to the [[United States]] as part of the Israeli embassy staff as Assistant Senior Representative of the Defense Mission to the U.S. for [[Strategic Defense Initiative]] (SDI) Programs. She studied at [[The Catholic University of America]] and has a doctorate from the unaccredited [[Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality]].

She worked within the [[Fogel Foundation]] from 1994 until 2003 before leaving to focus on her own private practice.

==Published academic work==
Miletski published the first brief overview of mother-son [[incest]] research. She shed light on a topic that has suffered societal neglect because of the [[taboo]] nature of incest, the widespread denial of all forms of female sexual aggression, and social double standards that impede recognition of female sex crimes. She shows that mother-son incest is more common than is thought and that most mothers who commit incest are [[insanity|sane]].

Miletski is notable for her 1999 book on [[zoophilia]],<ref>Review by [[Vern Bullough]] published in ''Journal of Sex Research,'' May 2003: ([http://www.dynomind.com/p/articles/mi_m2372/is_2_40/ai_105518225 Online version])</ref> which formally established "whether a genuine [[sexual orientation|orientation]] might exist (as opposed to a mere [[sexual fetish]]), and whether previous research in the field had erred in not fully recognizing this".

Miletski's study has never been published in any peer-reviewed journal. She once published a two-page abstract of her findings in the ''Scandinavian Journal of Sexology''.<ref>Miletski, H. (2000) ''Bestiality and Zoophilia: An Exploratory Study.'' ''Scandinavian Journal of Sexology''. Vol. 3 (4), pp 149–150: – Miletski's book "Understanding bestiality and zoophilia" (2002) was an expansion of her initial dissertation "Bestiality and Zoophilia: An exploratory study" (1999). An abstract of the latter was published in the Scandinavian Journal of Sexology (now discontinued), the official journal of the Nordic Association for Clinical Sexology (NACS).
