Arthur S. Leonard, New York Law School In two million marriages,
one spouse is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Having a spouse or parent
disclose his or her same-sex attraction is a shattering experience
fraught with pain, confusion, anger, and a profound loss of
self-esteem. Amity Pierce Buxton spotlights this exploding
phenomenon and reports constructive coping strategies that spouses
and children have used to resolve problems of sexual damage, family
breakdown, deception, and homophobia. Illustrated throughout by
riveting personal narratives, this expanded edition of The Other
Side of the Closet traces the family's journey from initial trauma
to eventual transformation. This invaluable source of information
for spouses, families, and professionals is based on Dr. Buxton's
eight years of research, including interviews with 1,000 straight
spouses and children, her own personal experience, and her
counseling work with spouses of gay, lesbian, and bisexual
partners.
