Grounding their work in the practice of structural family therapy, Greenan and Tunnell (both practicing psychologists in New York City) provide clinical guidelines and a case study as well as discussing special considerations for gay couples undergoing therapy (e.g., early socialization of gay males and the difficulties of building nurturing, intimate relationships in a homophobic society). They describe their therapeutic model based on a dyadic circular system and heavily influenced by the work of Salvador Munichin. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
