For more than half a century, The Group for the Advancement of
Psychiatry (GAP) has produced position statements on relevant and
controversial psychiatric topics. This latest monograph",
""Homosexuality and the Mental Health Professions: The Impact of
Bias, "continues a tradition of timely publications dealing with
specific aspects of bias, discrimination, and human
sexuality"."
This monograph acutely identifies problems of bias, overt and
covert, as they affect the treatment of lesbian and gay patients
and as they influence the training of mental health professionals.
Incorporating clinical vignettes that detail actual incidents from
a wide range of clinical and professional encounters, the report
enables the clinician not only to review his or her own experience,
but also to envision alternative possibilities of constructive and
caring intervention.
As psychiatry enters a new era of understanding the full range of
normal variation in human sexuality, this monograph will serve both
as an indispensable teaching tool and as an invaluable touchstone
for assessing quality of care with gay and lesbian patients.
