This important text provides compelling insights into the
relationships of LGB people, sociocultural differences and how
these intersect. Working with challenging material in a
comprehensible manner, it is the ideal introduction to the
multiplicity of ways LGB communities engage with contemporary
social life. Stimulating and well written, it deserves to be on
every shelf and e-shelf!

Section of the British Psychological Society & Counselling

It is difficult to encapsulate the richness of this book in a
few words. Rather than passing references to variability in
experiences, in this book, areas of "difference" truly intersect,
enhancing and deepening the understanding of each of the issues
involved. A rare accomplishment in its thoroughness and clarity, I
am sure it will be widely read and used by clinicians in training
as well as by experienced practitioners.
--Oliva Espin, Professor Emerita,
Department of Women's Studies, San Diego State University
& California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant
International University
An important book for the psychological therapies profession,
bringing together research and exploring new ideas. The editors
demonstrate successfully the diversity within the lesbian, gay and
bisexual population, stressing the importance of the individual and
highlighting best practice along the way. A recommended read for
all health professionals.
--James Taylor, Health Officer, Stonewall
This book will be a great tool in developing confidence around
cultural sensitivities and understandings in respect to diversity
within LGB communities. It will encourage practitioners to
consider aspects of social or psychological impact that
non-heterosexual clients may experience, in ways they may not have
fully appreciated before.
