Synopsis
Social Work Practice with the LGBTQ Community aims to weave together the realms of sociopolitical, historical, and policy contexts in order to assist readers with understanding the base for effective and affirming health and mental health practice with diverse members of the LGBTQ community. Comprised of chapters written by social work academics and their allies - whose combined knowledge in the field spans decades of direct experience in human behavior, practice, policy, and research - this book features applicable and useful content for social work students and practitioners across the allied health and mental health professions, as well as across disciplines. The expansive practice text examines international concerns and content associated with the LGBTQ movement and ongoing needs related to health, mental health, policy and advocacy, among other areas of concern. Specific highlights of the chapters include narrative that blends conceptual, theoretical, and empirical content; examination of current trends in the field related to practice considerations and intersectionality; and snapshots of concerns related to international progress and ongoing challenges related to equality and policy. Additionally, as a classroom support for instructors, each chapter has a corresponding power point presentation which includes a resource list pertaining to that chapter's focus with websites, film, and video links as well as national and international organizations associated with the LGBTQ community. Overall, Social Work Practice with the LGBTQ Community is an invaluable resource for graduate students within social work programs and related disciplines, academics, and health/mental health practitioners currently in the field.

[The] authors keenly weave together a broad collection of work that reflects how oppression operates and a means for building on individual strengths, community capacity, and political advocacy. Most importantly, this book inspires an appreciation for the experiences of LGBTQ people by explaining how LGBTQ communities operate, including norms and terms likely unfamiliar to people who are not LGBTQ. This informs a more sensitive approach with LGBTQ people and
communities, if not a sense of responsibility, for advocacy to create systems that better support and, ultimately, honor the basic human rights of all people. * Journal of Social Work Values & Ethics * Social Work Practice with the LGBTQ Community, offers a much-needed overview of the historical and modern-day factors related to social work practice with LGBTQ populations... [The] book offers valuable information that will be applicable across all professions committed to effectively serving LGBTQ people, and is well worth having as a resource to social work faculty, students and practitioners. * Journal of Teaching in Social Work *
