Until the mid-1970s, the vast majority of psychological research presented homosexuality as a form of pathology. Today, research on lesbian and gay issues has now moved well beyond simply demonstrating the normality of lesbians and gay men. Written in an accessible manner, this text is a collection on lesbian and gay psychology. Covering a broad range of topics such as development during adolescence, girls and friendships, identity formation and disclosure, parenting and family issues, health issues, psychotherapy and social attitudes - this book aims to take lesbian and gay psychology forward into the 21st century. It should be of interest for those currently teaching courses which include consideration of lesbian and gay psychology, counselling psychology, clinical psychology, sociology, gender studies and psychotherapy, as well as elective modules on sexuality, psychosexual therapy and critical psychology. It may also appeal to psychological researchers and practitioners and an interdisciplinary readership.
