"This training video explores the history of mental health practice with gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. You will deepen your understanding of some of the most important historical developments from ancient times to the present, including early attempts to pathologize and change homosexuality; the influences that led to the depathologizing of homosexuality; the contemporary bias in psychotherapy, illustrated by a poignant account of therapy abuse by Robert Gentry, the nation's first openly gay mayor; "conversion therapies" to repathologize homosexuality and modern attempts to change sexual orientation; recent affirmative mental health approaches; and the current APA guidelines for working with GLB clients. Includes real testimony of affirmative psychotherapy from a client after years of negative therapy experiences. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
