review: Editorial Reviews From the Inside Flap The innovative and informative Pocket Guide to LGBTQ Mental Health builds on the work of two groundbreaking American Psychiatric Association Publishing texts, The LGBT Casebook and Transgender Mental Health. Reflecting sweeping changes in our understanding of gender and sexuality over the last two decades, the book aims to help clinicians (as well as patients, parents, teachers, students, administrators, and anyone else who is interested in how humans operate) master the fundamentals of sexual orientation and gender identity. Each chapter begins with the psychological and cultural context of a particular facet of human sexuality, including an exploration of its history and terminology, then proceeds to describe issues and challenges currently faced by people who embrace these identities. In addition, the book tackles questions that well-meaning people may ask and addresses common themes that emerge in counseling and psychotherapy with LGBTQ2IAPA people. Practical and written in an engaging and accessible style, the Pocket Guide to LGBTQ Mental Health gives mental health clinicians, including psychiatrists, residents and fellows, psychologists, social workers, and nurses, the tools to understand, relate to, and care for patients of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
