Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
"Coming to terms with your sexuality is a lifetime process," asserts clinical psychologist Johnson at the beginning of this workbook conceived to aid men in pacing that course of events. Using a holistic approach, the author presents a well-structured series of exercises that allow the reader to take stock of his life, identify negative behavior patterns and emotions, and develop strategies to heal them, in conjunction with therapy if necessary. Although Johnson occasionally lapses into popular psychology buzzwords, the psychological underpinnings of the exercises are well researched, solid, and sensible, comparing favorably with those in Michelangelo Signorile's Outing Yourself (LJ 6/15/95). A fine addition to the recent spate of coming-out books, this is a good choice for public libraries and gay studies collections wishing to strengthen their self-help offerings.?Richard Violette, Social Law Lib., Boston

BUY THIS BOOK!,
By "bb_referee" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coming Out Every Day : A Gay, Bisexual, and Questioning Man's Guide (Paperback)
As a 26 year old guy just coming to terms with my sexual orientation, this book provided the guidance I needed to accept who I was as a gay man and the support I needed to come out to my best friend. Dr. Johnson has put together a great book from start to finish. Not just a book of advice, this book makes you look at your life and do a personal inventory. I've also read "Outing Yourself" but found this book to be better. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, or just need a great guide book to coming out gay or bisexual, this book is for you! Thank you, Dr. Johnson, for writing this book!
