DESCRIPTION:
- Practitioners with little experience in working with the LGBT population can gain a better understanding of psychiatric diagnoses within the context of an LGBT individual's everyday life. - The book can be read cover-to-cover to gain insights into the full diversity of the LGBT population, or by specific chapters of interest to help with the diagnosis of a patient currently in treatment. - Problems that are common to all LGBT individuals, such as the anxiety of being in the closet (hiding one's identity) or coming out (embracing one's identity). While "The LGBT Casebook" is the ideal general overview and roadmap for the clinician new to treating LGBT patients, it also provides new pearls of wisdom and insights for psychiatrists, residents, medical students, nurses, and clinical social workers who are already familiar with working with the LGBT community.

Informative MSW student I liked the case studies. I just wish there had been a little more depth to the information regarding the basic mental illness or mental health issue to be discussed before the case study is presented. It would have put the case study in a better context.. Lifesaver! I use this all the time in my MSW program! Great book, formatted and edited well. Any person practicing with LGBT people needs this!
