Bisexuality: The Psychology and Politics of an Invisible Minority [Paperback]

Beth A. Firestein (Editor)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0803972741 | ISBN-13: 978-0803972742 | Publication Date: August 15, 1996

This volume fills a gap in the literature on the subject of bisexuality and provides an insight into and clarification of this emerging paradigm shift in sexual orientation studies. The interdisciplinary range of contributors agree that, given recognition and validity, bisexuality has the explanatory power to illuminate many of those elements of sexual orientation and sexual identity which have, to date, remained unexplored.

This review is from: Bisexuality: The Psychology and Politics of an Invisible Minority (Paperback)

While written primarily for the professional community, especially therapists, I would recommend Dr. Firestein's book for anyone interested in understanding all aspects of Bisexuality. For anyone who feels the need to understand themselves better, and perhaps know that they are not "confused", this book is informative in understanding how identities are informed by culture. While the first essay is a bit dry and academic, the rest of the book is absorbing, and occasionally amusing, and even inspiring. This is a truly major work.
