| Short description
The LGBT community is incredibly diverse; therapists must be able to see and understand this diversity in order to work with LGBT clients in a way that is ethical, supportive, and non-discriminatory. Written for practicing therapists and students, this book explores the multiple, shifting identities of individuals within this community to expose the true plurality that exists within. Firmly grounded in contemporary theory, research, and practice, Intersectionality, Sexuality, and Psychological Therapies takes on gender, race, religion, age, class, disability, immigration, and other important factors in understanding the diversity within the LGBT community.
