Abstract
This book explores the diversity in lesbian, gay, and bisexual lives, with the aim of opening up therapists' understanding of this diversity so that they can work in an ethical, supportive and non-discriminatory way with these individuals.
Offers a comprehensive look at diversity within LGB populations, including the interactions between different areas of social difference using contemporary approaches
Focuses on the practitioner, illustrating concepts with vignettes and case studies for implementing practical applications
Emphasizes gender balance, fully exploring both male and female perspectives on each topic
Encompasses different perspectives, including critical health psychology, discursive psychology, intersectionality, critical and cultural theory, and post-colonial discourse, while remaining accessible to all
