This breakthrough volume focuses not only on the obvious, unique factors within GLBT families but also on the elements encountered within families that are present regardless of sexual orientation and gender, such as physical and emotional abuse. Expert contributors present research findings on family pattern issues relating to parent-child relationships, child development, sibling relationships, family structure, intimate relationships, stepfamilies, alternative family structures, and extended family relationships. Each chapter is extensively referenced and offers possibilities for further research."--Jacket Notes A compilation of articles previously published in the Journal of GLBT Family Studies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
