This cutting-edge guide spotlights some of the most exciting
emerging discoveries, trends, and research areas in LGBT
psychology, both in science and therapy. LGBT Psychology and Mental
Health: Emerging Research and Advances brings together concise,
substantive reviews of what is new or on the horizon in science and
in key areas of clinical practice. It will equip professionals at
institutions with mental health programs that deal with lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender issues with information and insight
to help psychologists, mental health clinicians, and counselors
better serve the LGBT populations that, increasingly, are seeking
their services. The book begins with introductory chapters that
present an overview of the field, chronicle the relationship
between the LGBT community and the field of psychology in past
decades, and identify emerging issues covered in the volume. It
then addresses subjects such as social psychology and LGBT
populations, health disparities and LGBT populations, the evolution
of developmental theory related to the LBGT populations, emerging
policy issues in LGBT health and psychology, and recent efforts to
make the field of psychology more trans-inclusive and affirmative.
Chapters are also dedicated to examining contemporary,
LGBT-affirmative psychoanalysis and treating addictions and
substance abuse in the LGBT community. The book concludes with
chapters that address how the concept of intersectionality can
serve as a way to better understand LGBT members who possess
multiple cultural identities and the unique stressors they
experience in daily life. The final chapter summarizes issues that
bridge the contributions provided by the authors, and it highlights
current issues of focal concern in order to project future
directions for the field of LGBT psychology in the next two
decades. Presents a concise history of LGBT psychology as well as
coverage of current LGBT psychology in various subfields, including
social, developmental, psychoanalytical, minority psychology, and
women's psychology Addresses issues in the LGBT community ranging
from health disparities (physical, biological, and psychological
illnesses that disproportionately affect the LGBT community) to
addictions and substance abuse, stressors, and emerging policy
issues Includes contributors who are well-known trailblazers and
noted experts in the field
