Making the decision to seek psychotherapy is a challenging one, but for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, or transgendered persons the challenge is double. Michael Bettinger, a psychotherapist practicing in San Francisco, lays out a comprehensive guide to the process. From determining if psychotherapy is for you and overcoming fear of "treatment" to selecting a therapist who is capable of dealing with the unique needs of a GLBT patient, from scheduling issues to problems with insurance companies, The Lavender Couch is the one and only book of its kind and the ultimate guide for GLBT patients to choosing the right path to total mental health.
Michael Bettinger is a psychotherapist, educator, and writer. He is in private practice in San Francisco and works primarily with people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered.
