Enriching therapeutic practice with LGB clients - By: , 09 May 2001
This book represents a valuable contribution to the literature on appropriate, effective & ethical therapeutic practice with lesbian, gay & bisexual (LGB) clients and,in my view, is the best of the three booksin this series produced by Dominic Davies & Charles Neal. Although the book aims to explore the overlap between various models of therapy & LGB-affirmative practice, most contributors explain their theoretical approaches so clearly & concisely that the text also constitutes a useful introduction to these approaches. No longer will practitioners within any of the main theoretical models be able to justify applying their approach to LGB clientsin unconsidered, acontextual or pathologising ways on the grounds that their approach cannot accommodate the challenges of LGB sexuality. This book cogently & persuasively demonstrates how this accommodation can be achieved for the benefit of clients & the enrichment of the therapeutic domain.
