Comprised of chapters written by social work academics and their allies — whose combined knowledge in the field spans decades of direct experience in human behavior, practice, policy,and research — this book features applicable and useful content for social work students and practitioners across the allied health and mental health professions, as well as across disciplines. The expansive practice text examines international concerns and content associated with the LGBTQ movement andongoing needs related to health, mental health, policy and advocacy, among other areas of concern. Specific highlights of the chapters include narrative that blends conceptual, theoretical, and empirical content; examination of current trends in the field related to practice considerations and intersectionality; and snapshots of concerns related to international progress and ongoing challenges related to equality and policy. Additionally, as a classroom support for instructors, each chapter hasa corresponding power point presentation which includes a resource list pertaining to that chapters focus with websites, film, and video links as well as national and international organizations associated with the LGBTQ community. Overall, Social Work Practice with the LGBTQ Community is aninvaluable resource for graduate students within social work programs and related disciplines, academics, and health/mental health practitioners currently in the field.
