Featuring over 70 affirming interventions in the form of homework assignments, handouts, and activities, this comprehensive volume helps novice and experienced counselors support LGBTQ community members and their allies. Each chapter includes an objective, indications and contraindications, a case study, suggestions for follow-up, professional resources, and references. The book’s social justice perspective encourages counselors to hone their skills in creating change in their communities while helping their clients learn effective coping strategies in the face of stress, bullying, microaggressions, and other life challenges. The volume also contains a large section on training allies and promoting greater cohesion within LGBTQ communities. Counseling and mental health services for LGBTQ clients require between-session activities that are clinically focused, evidence based, and specifically designed for one or more LGBTQ sub-populations. This handbook gathers together the best of such LGBTQ clinically focused material. As such, it will appeal both to students learning affirmative LGBTQ psychotherapy/counseling and to experienced practitioners. Offering practical tools used by clinicians worldwide, the volume is particularly useful for courses in clinical and community counseling, social work, and psychology. Those new to working with LGBTQ clients will appreciate the book’s accessible foundation to guide interventions.
