Review

The articles are uniformly distingushed: well-written, conceptually very sophisticated, carefully researched.The editors provide an overall introduction to each of the eight sections, and a conclusion that treats implications of the articles for clinical practice, research, and public policy.Very highly recommended. -- Choice

This book is the most comprehensive work on lesbian and gay issues to date, and will be a classic in the field. -- Esther Rothblum University of Vermont

This review is from: Psychological Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Male Experiences (Paperback)

This book is huge; no one could get through the whole thing. It has a long table of contents. That's what makes it so good: it covers so many subjects. I loved that it had specific chapters on gay Natives, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians. Others will love that it talks extensively about lesbians, bisexuals, older gays, and gay youth. This was a well-conceived, very extensive anthology. And it's not too touchy-feely either. I would recommend that all gay and gay-friendly therapists buy it and recommend it to their coming-out and anti-heterosexist clients.
