In response to the need for a forum to deal with distinctly psychological themes, Lesbian and Gay Psychology is the first book in a series entitled Psychological Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Issues. Empirically rich and intellectually rigorous, this volume presents innovative studies that explore the children of lesbians, internalized homophobia, lesbian and gay development, and aspects of relationship quality of cohabitating couples. Theoretical analyses of physical appearance, issues of sexual pride and shame in lesbians, impact of the feminist political movement, and heterosexual attitudes are also provided. A chapter on boundary issues in a lesbian therapist/client relationship adds to the diversity of perspectives contained in this volume.
