Guest guest Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 My colleague Dr. Khakasa Wapenyi co authored this great new casebook just recently published, a must read for anyone involved, interested in LGBTQ population. Here is the info. Natasha Shapiro, ATR-BC, LCAT The LGBT Casebook Edited by Petros Levounis, M.D., M.A., Jack Drescher, M.D., and Barber, M.D. Even in today's more enlightened society, it takes courage for many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals to " come out of the closet " and embrace their sexual orientation and identity. Coming out, or facing internal and societal conflicts related to sexuality, involves a great deal of anxiety that can permeate other aspects of an LGBT individual's life—particularly when seeking psychiatric treatment. The goal of The LGBT Casebook is to help clinicians, trainees, and other mental health professionals address the mental health needs of LGBT people in the context of problems these individuals face in their everyday lives, including homophobia and discrimination.
