LGBT older adults experience issues and challenges that are unique,
including institutional heteronormativity, heterosexism in
organizations, and homophobia among caregivers and social service
providers. This book presents a diverse group of scholars,
activists, social service providers, and researchers from around
the globe examining current research, practices, and policies on
aging among LGBT individuals. This revealing source lays out the
significant challenges faced not only by this aging sexual minority
population, but also for their social service providers-and those
who train them. The chapters explore the Greater London area Polari
Project, the adjustments made in the long-running HIV support group
at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, and the Liberation Psychology
workshops in Ireland for lesbian and transgendered persons. This
volume can serve as an excellent teacher resource for engaging
undergraduate and graduate students in various professions who will
be working with older LGBT adults. This text is extensively
referenced and includes tables to clearly present research. This
book is a valuable source for program administrators and
supervisors, human behavior researchers, psychologists and
psychotherapists, social planners and policy specialists, community
developers and organizers, case managers, direct service
practitioners involved with LGBT communities, educators, and
students. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal
of Gay & Lesbian Social Services.
