Learn the latest practicaland bisexually affirmativeapproaches to
helping bisexual clients Clinical work with bisexual clients has
conceptually shifted beyond the exclusive emphasis on either
straight or lesbian and gay issues. There are still, however, too
few psychotherapists who provide affirmative psychotherapy specific
to bisexual concerns. Affirmative Psychotherapy with Bisexual Women
and Bisexual Men addresses the issues of bisexuals with an
accepting and affirmative perspective, providing therapists with
the latest viewpoints, strategies, and research to effectively
treat bisexual clients. Leading authorities with
affirmative-to-bisexuals perspectives discuss problems specific to
bisexuals and their lifestyles, with an eye toward providing
practical, effective therapy. Unique bisexual lifestyle concerns
are examined, such as transgender issues, polyamory, older bisexual
women and men, and cultural differences, while providing an
emphasis on cultivating well-being and a sense of community in
bisexual clients. Affirmative Psychotherapy with Bisexual Women and
Bisexual Men sensitively avoids the double standard long held by
therapists clinically treating heterosexual or lesbian and gay
individuals, showing that an affirmative viewpoint is valid and
crucial for the effective treatment of bisexuals. This source
clearly explains practical strategies and discusses the latest
research on bisexual issues such as age, culture, heterosexual and
bisexual mixed couples, and the polyamorous lifestyle with
appropriate acceptance and understanding. The book also explores
useful ways to develop successful health and support services
specific to bisexual needs. Topics in Affirmative Psychotherapy
