This book is a theoretical and practical guide for individuals who
teach and train about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, queer
and questioning (LGBTQ) psychology in diverse groups and settings.
All instructional environments should be safe places to engage in
exploration and active learning. How instructors address LGBTQ
identities is critical for the education of all learners, whether or
not the primary subject matter is sexual orientation and/or gender
diversity.
Each chapter approaches sexual and gender diversity from a resilience,
wellness-focused framework, with the overall goal of furthering social
justice for LGBTQ individuals. Balancing the conceptual literature
with practical examples and case illustrations, the collection
features:
* A review of ethical guidelines, laws, and practice standards
related to LGBTQ rights and professionals’ obligations
* Innovative teaching techniques, activities, and strategies to
understand and reduce minority stress and marginalization
* Tips for scaffolding students’ knowledge regarding identity
development
* Examples of how to support clinical trainees’ skill development
in working with LGBTQ clients
* Useful tools for LGBTQ education in the community, including health
care settings, schools, businesses and government agencies, and
religious organizations
Other specific topics covered include affirmative language and
terminology; coming out issues; classroom and behavioral management
strategies; intervention and prevention efforts relevant to LGBTQ
communities; and the impact of history, identity, culture, and
community on various aspects of functioning for LGBTQ individuals.
