Gays, Lesbians, and Their Therapists: Studies in Psychotherapy

by Charles Silverstein

Book Overview

Each contributor shares a case, focusing not only on the patient's history, dynamics, and treatment, but also on the therapist's countertransference, thus demonstrating how both patient and therapist influence the therapeutic process when the patient and, in many cases, the therapist are gay or lesbian.

Good for therapists

Every therapist should have this book in their collection. Very insightful. The case studies make it easy to apply to other clts.

An excellent collection of articles!

A group of excellent therapists come out of the closet all over again, this time with their personal experience of doing therapy with gays and lesbians. Lots of exploration of counter-transference and rich case descriptions make this an excellent addition to any therapist's library.
