Mental Health Issues for Sexual Minority Women Redefining Women's Mental Health

Presents much-needed research on sexual orientation and sexual minority populations missing from most mental health studies. Identifies three areas of concern voiced in a 1999 Institute of Medicine report on lesbian health: whether lesbians are at a higher risk of mental health problems; the need for a better understanding of lesbian orientation and diversity in the lesbian population; and the need to eliminate barriers to mental health care services for lesbians. Book addresses those concerns with theoretical and empirical work that represents a broad range of disciplines and cultures.Hughes, Tonda L. is the author of 'Mental Health Issues for Sexual Minority Women Redefining Women's Mental Health' with ISBN 9781560233114 and ISBN 1560233117.
