A tremendous outpouring of psychological research on sexual
orientation has occurred in recent years, and interested readers
have been hard-pressed to keep up with the pace of scholarship in
this field. In particular, the last decade has seen a great
increase in research on psychology and sexual orientation. The
first authoritative summary of its kind in this area, Handbook of
Psychology and Sexual Orientation is the primary resource for the
many researchers, including a new generation of investigators, who
are continuing to advance understanding in this field. Volume
editors Charlotte J. Patterson and Anthony R. D'Augelli, along with
other leading experts, contribute an extraordinary review of
contemporary psychological research and theory on sexual
orientation in their specific fields of work. The book is divided
in four parts: Concepts, Theories, and Perspectives; Development
over the Life Course; Domains of Experience; and Communities and
Contextual Issues. Individual chapters focus on topics such as
bisexual and transgender identities, biological foundations of
sexual orientation, emergent adulthood in lesbian and gay lives,
same-sex romantic relationships, sexual orientation and mental
health, family formation and parenthood, sexual orientation and
hate crimes, and race and ethnicity among lesbian, gay, and
bisexual communities, along with many more relevant areas. This
comprehensive volume will be invaluable to undergraduate and
graduate students, researchers and scholars, and professionals who
work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues, and in
the fields of developmental, social, clinical, community, and
counseling psychology.
