In this new book, the successor to the classic in the field Counseling Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, and Transgender Substance Abusers: Dual Identities by Dana G. Finnegan
and Emily B. McNally, Michael Shelton reviews the empirical literature and
synthesizes what we know about the prevalence of LGBT substance use, abuse,
and treatment availability, emphasizing the need for affirmative therapeutic
practices. The principles of trauma-informed and culturally competent
treatment/intervention are explained and assessed, as well as the challenges of
minority stress and micro-aggressions experienced by the LGBT population.
Separate sections focus on the sub-populations of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals,
and transgender individuals. Separate chapters focus on LGBT youth, the elderly,
family constellations and concerns, criminal justice issues, and rural LGBT
substance abuse.
