Summary
"This book examines and forms strategies to respond to the particular needs of gay men living with non-HIV chronic illnesses and disabilities such as diabetes, cancer, obesity, and muscular sclerosis. Bringing together the interdisciplinary expertise and unique perspectives of leaders in social work, psychology and rehabilitation counseling, Gay Men Living with Chronic Illnesses and Disabilities discusses key issues from theoretical, clinical, practical, and personal perspectives. With extensive, up-to-date bibliographies at the end of each chapter and case studies that illuminate its theoretical discussions, this book is essential reading for those involved in health policy and practice with gay men living with chronic illnesses and disabilities." --Book Jacket.
