| Summary |
"Until recently, the literature on lesbian, gay, and bisexual mental health and that on cognitive-behavioral therapies have followed different trajectories. Clinical training has been similarly divided, so that few clinicians develop expertise in both LGB-affirmative psychotherapy and CBT. Filling a crucial gap, this practical volume synthesizes knowledge from both fields into a comprehensive framework for culturally sensitive CBT practice with LGB clients, Presented are powerful treatment approaches for problems that are frequently encountered by gay and straight clients alike, together with clear-cut guidance for helping individuals and couples cope with the stresses of sexual minority status. All therapists serving a diverse clientele will find invaluable insights and tools in this accessible, up-to-date book." |
|
"An important contribution for therapists in a range of settings, from CBT newcomers to experienced practitioners, this book will also be read with interest by students and residents in clinical and counseling psychology, couple and family therapy, psychiatry, clinical social work, and nursing. It is a uniquely informative text for courses in CBT, couple therapy, and clinical work with sexual minority clients."--BOOK JACKET |
