Queer Psychology is the first comprehensive book to examine the
current state of LGBTQ communities and psychology, through the
lenses of both queer theory and Intersectionality theory. Thus, the
book describes the experiences of LGBTQ people broadly, while also
highlighting the voices of LGBTQ people of color, transgender and
gender nonconforming people, those of religious minority groups,
immigrants, people with disabilities, and other historically
marginalized groups. Each chapter will include an intersectional
case example, as well as implications for policy and practice. This
book is especially important as there has been an increase in
psychology and counseling courses focusing on LGBTQ communities;
however, students often learn about LGBTQ-related issues through a
White cisgender male normative perspective. The edited volume
contains the contributions of leading scholars in LGBTQ psychology,
and covers a number of concepts - ranging from identity development
to discrimination to health.
