What should you say if your patient is struggling with her
sexuality? How do you respond to your married patient when he
discloses to you his same-sex sexual history? To which medical
studies do you turn when you need to know more about club drugs? As
physicians and health professionals, you want to provide the best
possible care for your patients, but medical schools and other
health care teaching institutions do not generally provide
comprehensive information on how to approach caring for
sexual-minority patients. Allan D. Peterkin and Cathy Risdon have
written Caring for Lesbian and Gay People - the first medical guide
to offer busy clinicians practical, accessible, and evidence-based
information to help in the care of gay and lesbian patients. The
authors begin with an overview of the history of medical relations
with lesbian and gay patients, providing advice and guidelines for
strengthening the doctor-patient relationship and raising the
standard of care for all patients. The book then delves into a
range of specific clinical issues, such as risk profiles for
particular illnesses, screening for and managing sexually
transmitted infections, and HIV in the primary care setting.
Subsequent chapters cover such wide-ranging topics as mental health
care and the effect of homophobia on relationships, same-sex
parenting, the role that body image plays in health, and unique
populations, such as lesbian and gay ethno-racial minorities, the
transgendered, rural lesbian and gay people, and elders. Each
chapter includes practical tips (advice on inclusive language, for
example) and summaries, along with references, of written and
online resources. Comprehensive and detailed, this work covers
physical and mental health across the life cycle, with equal
emphasis on women's and men's health. Based on more than twenty
years of patient care and contributions to medical education and
community development, this indispensable resource will greatly
heighten the quality of care clinicians, health care practitioners,
and educators can provide to their patients, and will in turn
provide patients and consumers with the means to take an active
role in their own health care.
