LGBTQ Clients in Therapy

Joe Kort's contribution to LGBTQ therapeutic literature is substantive and trailblazing and should be required reading for any therapist working with LGBTQ clients. In this new book, the author updates the data and cultural shifts as well as deepens and extends his original contributions. While addressed to the context of a specific client, Kort's clinical insights can expand the consciousness of any therapist. We recommend his book to all therapists.--Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. & Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph. D., authors, Getting The Love You Want & Making Marriage Simple This beautifully written, accessible book is not just for the straight therapist, every one of whom should purchase a copy. Therapists who identify as LGBTQ also will want Dr. Kort's book because it updates theoretical approaches to thinking about and treating the younger generation who think about sexual orientation differently than their elders. Plus, as an AASECT-certified sex therapist, Dr. Kort includes straightforward information on understanding LGBTQ sexuality that other authors shy away from.--Stephanie Buehler, PsyD, CST-S, Director, The Buehler Institute This updated and informed clinical manual crafts a compassionate narrative for the trauma, drama and shifting diorama of gender and sexual relationship diversity in America. By naming historical and contemporary psychotherapy ignorance Kort opens the readers mind to essential psychotherapy skills and practices for today's LGBTQ clients.--Douglas Braun-Harvey, MFT, CST, CSTS, The Harvey Institute Shining the light on a topic that is often shied away from, Joe Kort calls upon all clinicians, gay or straight, to move past their ignorance, look deeper, and do better work. His book should be required reading for any clinician interested in expanding their consciousness. Which should be all.
