- "Affirmative Psychotherapy and Counseling for Lesbians and Gay Men" offers a broad base of research, practice, and advocacy information about the special counseling needs of gays and lesbians.

They present sensible information on how to provide a safe therapeutic environment and how to interpret and apply psychological assessments.
