This groundbreaking resource presents a wealth of findings and
perspectives previously unseen in the LGBT literature. Its focus on
psychological, sociopolitical and care delivery issues affecting
LGBT elders reveals both the nuanced interplay between diverse
sources of identity and multiple sources of stigma and
discrimination. Specific chapters highlight challenges and
resiliencies impacting subpopulations (e.g., racial groups,
veterans, immigrants), examine employment and advocacy issues,
discuss later-life concerns in context and offer guidelines for
relevant, ethical practice. Contributors represent a wide range of
fields from psychiatry and gerontology to public health and public
policy, reflecting the scope and needs of this diverse and complex
population. Among the topics in the Handbook: Family relationships
of older LGBT adults. The intersection of identities: race, age,
sexuality and care network. Bisexuality: an invisible community
among LGBT elders. Implications of the Supreme Court ruling on
same-sex marriage. No money, no work and you're old. Disabilities
among LGBT elders: responses of medicine, public health,
rehabilitation and social work. Handbook of LGBT Elders is an
essential reference for mental health professionals, psychologists
and social workers who work with the LGBT community and the
elderly, as well as researchers interested in the LGBT community
and aging.
