| Summary: | This volume provides a knowledge base of practice that will better prepare social work students and practitioners for working sensitively, competently, and effectively with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) individuals. It will improve and reinforce competent practice with LGBT persons and their families in multiple settings. This work focuses on important topics such as the social work profession's core values and ethical principles, identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethically challenging practice problems, LGBT persons of color -- heterosexism, racism, and sexism, applying the life model and the stress-coping process, the root of conflicts in allegiances and pressures for unity via homogeneity, practice with bisexual, transgender, and gender non-conforming persons, sexual conversion therapy, traditional psychoanalytic notions of lesbian couples, the impact of sexual abuse on lesbian couples, internalized homophobia, heterocentrism, and gay identity, group work practice with the LGBTQ community, clinical assessment for families where sexual orientation is an issue, LGBT parenting, and the role of health care. |
