Written for clinicians wishing to enhance their psychotherapeutic treatment of sexual minority clients, this guide addresses the special issues this population presents from a positive regard perspective irrespective of the particular type of therapy or problem.

The book includes a substantial list of resources and references. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
