A practical guide to developing a deeper understanding of lesbian,
gay, and bisexual persons, Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths and
Adults empowers human service professionals to work more
comfortably and effectively with these communities. The authors,
Ski Hunter, Coleen Shannon, Jo Knox, and James I. Martin, lead
readers through the social and historical context of lesbians, gay
men, and bisexual men and women. The authors skillfully explore the
oppressive responses of the heterosexual world as well as the
psychological and social development of lesbians, gay, and bisexual
persons across the lifespan. Complex issues such as the challenges
encountered in friendships, coupling, and parenting are considered.
Sensitive and purposeful, Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths and
Adults provides research-based insights and practical applications.
Written in a scholarly but accessible style, the authors also
include an intervention model to facilitate working with lesbian,
bisexual, and gay clients. The book begins with an overview of
controversies regarding causation and concludes with a thoughtful
overview of the changes from oppressive to affirmative practice.
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths and Adults is ideal as a main
text in courses on stigmatized populations and as a supplement for
courses in the applied human services fields. It is a "must read"
for practitioners, supervisors, administrators, professors, and
trainers working with members of these communities as clients,
staff, or students. It is also an excellent venue for the
interested lay reader.
