Publisher's Synopsis
Thirty years ago when a gay, lesbian or bisexual person went for therapy, the accepted approach to treatment was to seek a "cure" for the client's homosexual "psychopathology". Today, although the vast majority of psychologists are considerably more compassionate, accepting and the understanding of their gay, lesbian and bisexual clients, they lack a comprehensive source of information regarding this population.;"The Handbook of Counselling and Psychotherapy With Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Clients" aims to educate readers about the identity, challenges and choices of lesbian, gay and bisexual clients. Practising professionals in psychology, counselling and social work will find it useful.
