Summary:Since 1975, when the American Psychological Association (APA) supported the removal of homosexuality from the official list of mental disorders, APA has encouraged mental health professionals to provide affirmative and appropriate services to lesbians and gay men. This handbook is a comprehensive volume that educates readers about the identity, challenges, and choices of lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients. Practicing professionals in psychology, counseling, and social work will find it an indispensable guide. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).

Description
Summary:Thirty years ago when a gay, lesbian or bisexual person went for therapy, the accepted approach to treatment was to seek a cure for the client's homosexual psychopathology. Today, although the vast majority of psychologists are considerably more compassionate, accepting and the understanding of their gay, lesbian and bisexual clients, they lack a comprehensive source of information regarding this population.
