Activism in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Psychology

Psychotherapy works toward change, but has traditionally focused solely on the individual. Today it is understood that discrimination and other adverse social conditions adversely affect the mental health of minority groups. Activism and LGBT Psychology takes note of the influence of social factors and offers examples of how mental health professionals can use their professional skills to empower the LGBT community. Respected leaders in the field of psychotherapy describe theoretical, clinical, community interventions, and personal approaches to changing attitudes toward LGBT people and within LGBT communities.Glassgold is the author of 'Activism in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Psychology', published 2007 under ISBN 9780789036742 and ISBN 0789036746.
