Reviews

Jones and Hill have created a volume that is both ambitious in scope and commendable for its inclusion of some of the more neglected elements and issues pertinent to LGBT communities.

The busy clinician will find this book a convenient and easy way to update a psychiatric approach to gender issues that no longer views sexual orientation as problematic, but addresses the stress of the person living in our culture that is not, in general, accepting of sexual difference.
