The editors should be applauded for organizing each facet of this massive notebook into a cohesive book. - Michael P. Chaney, Oakland University This text stimulates clinicians to think of the many questions they should ask to ensure that their counseling sessions are LGBTQQ+ affirming. I believe the drive to ask and answer even more questions about queer and trans mental health therapy is this text's ultimate contribution to the discipline and the profession. It provides resources that we might not have even realized that we need. - Anneliese Singh, University of Georgia The resources in this book represent a significant source of activities for LGBTQ+ clients regardless of their social location. Authors of the homework exercises have been very thoughtful in the design of their activities, clearly identifying when an activity would not be indicated. Many activities are devoted to transgender and nonbinary clients.
