Description
It has been over three decades since the American Psychiatric
Association removed homosexuality as a category of
deviant behavior from the DSM. Same-sex marriage is recognized
in certain states, gay-straight alliances are springing
up in high schools across the country, and major religious
denominations are embracing gay clergy. Yet despite the
sea change of attitudes toward homosexuality, many well-meaning
straight therapists are still at a loss as to how to
effectively counsel their gay and lesbian clients. This book
will offer straight therapists the tools they need to counsel
gay and lesbian clients effectively.
