A new, multidisciplinary look at GLBT parenting Over the past 30
years, research on gay and lesbian parents has produced findings
that challenge deeply rooted beliefs in child psychology about the
processes through which parents influence the development of their
children. Gay and Lesbian Parenting: New Directions builds on this
important research with a detailed multidisciplinary examination of
established knowledge and emerging information. In addition to
evaluating already substantiated findings, this innovative
collection marks a turning point in the field by showcasing a new
wave of research that examines the dynamics of same-sex parenting
and addresses questions about newly emerging concerns such as the
consequences of different routes to same-sex parenthood and the
effects of social perceptions on gay and lesbian family life. Gay
and Lesbian Parenting: New Directions presents an overview of
significant developments and suggests future directions for the
field. Arranged in four sections, this unique text offers
cutting-edge information gathered from both quantitative and
qualitative research methods. Section one considers gay and lesbian
family formation and the may routes through which lesbians and gay
men have become parents. Section two reviews family relationships
from parents', and their children's, perspective. The contributions
to the third section discuss how gay and lesbian families describe
themselves to others. The final section examines the public
perceptions held by heterosexuals about lesbian and gay parenting
and looks toward possibilities for the future. Chapters in Gay and
Lesbian Parenting: New Directions: look at established research and
the perspective of gay and lesbian parents and their children on
family life explore methodological advances in the research field
