Loving Boldly Issues Facing Lesbians

"Loving boldly highlights the lesbian experience as an affirmative model of nontraditional lifestyles. In this enlightening volume, the authors--counselors, psychologists, and therapists--raise some of the vital issues that need to be understood in the context of our extremely homophobic society. Challenging the traditional stigmas held by both the general public and mainstream mental health prefessionals about lesbianism, the authors review over 30 years of research indicating that lesbians experience positive adjustment and mental health. They explore issues never before discussed in print-married lesbians, lesbians in rural settings, and lesbian nonmonogomy."--Publisher's description.
