Psychological Perspectives on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Experiences by Linda D. Garnets; Douglas C. Kimmel

A compilation of important articles which provides a comprehensive overview of current thought on the psychological aspects of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual experience. The editors have included a new set of articles for the second edition of Psychological Perspectives, most of which have been published since the first edition of their book. The book is divided into nine sections which deal with the meaning of sexual orientation; the psychological dimensions of prejudice, discrimination, and violence; identity development; diversity; relationships and families; adolescence, midlife, and aging; health (including a discussion of AIDS); mental health; and the status of practice, research, and public policy issues in American psychology.
