It will be an invaluable guide for those who work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex communities, but even more importantly, for the average practitioner who has infrequent contact with sexual minority and gender nonconforming clients. The science and scholarship of the field is brilliantly represented here.\u003c\/p\u003e - Laura S. Brown, PhD, ABPP, independent practice, Seattle, WA \u003cp\u003eThe dramatic social changes such as same-sex marriage, the emergence of transgender identities, and the greater openness of sexual minority and transgender people make competent counseling with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations increasingly challenging. This book combines discussions of important conceptual perspectives, reviews of the rapidly accumulating research findings, and guidelines for competent, ethical practice. No other volume prepares practitioners so comprehensively, whether they are experienced or beginning professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e - Anthony R. D'Augelli, PhD, professor of human development and family studies, Pennsylvania State University, University Park \u003cp\u003eThe editors have brought together a compilation of well-researched, carefully crafted chapters addressing the newest developments in understanding and working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. By moving to a broader conceptualization of sexual minority and gender nonconforming identities, theory and practice are changing to make sure that no individual  amp quot falls through the cracks, amp quot  regardless of the complexity of their identity. This volume follows in the highly esteemed footsteps of the other works on the topic by these editors and provides the next logical extension of evolving theory and clinical practice in working with sexual minority and gender diverse individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e - Beth Firestein, PhD, independent practice, Inner Source Psychotherapy, Loveland, CO\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis timely volume explores the unique challenges faced by sexual minority (SM) and transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) clients today.
