In this book, an array of approaches - first person and theoretical
accounts, clinical understandings, qualitative and quantitative
research - are brought to bear on controversial or under-discussed
topics in lesbian family life. From conception all the way to care
for elderly parents, this book takes a fresh look at lesbian family
relationships. Topics include: butch/femme couples, infidelity, the
psychological meaning of family for lesbians, age-discrepant
couples, lesbian nuns as family, Listservs as family, intentional
family for aging women, women raising sons, mothers who come out
late in life, mothers and children in situations of domestic
violence, lack of support for lesbian domestic violence survivors,
death of a partner, psychological issues in the use of sperm donors
or surrogates, and middle-aged lesbians caring for homophobic
elderly parents. Some authors use self psychology and Jungian
psychology to describe aspects of family life. The richness and
diversity of topics makes it a text on "lesbian lives". Therapists
and academics from throughout the U.S. have contributed to this
collection. Many lesbian women, as well as teachers (it can be a
text) and mental health professionals who work with children,
families, couples and elderly will find useful material here. This
book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Lesbian
Studies.
