 | We Speak for Ourselves: Experiences in Homosexual Counselling | Jack Babuscio has long been active in the homosexual movement, and We Speak For Ourselves is written for anyone who gives help to those wanting understanding and assistance in accepting their sexual orientation. Because the author feels that the published works on homosexuality are rarely grounded in the problems and situations of real people, this book provides much information and advice for heterosexuals, for troubled homosexuals, and for their families and friends. Its wide use of case histories and transcripts of actual counselling interviews gives a unique insight into the ways in which homosexuals view themselves and their status as citizens of a world in which institutions are designed to meet the needs of a heterosexual majority. | ||

 | As We Are | "The gay community is in crisis and a new sense of our identity is emerging. We are finding our real goodness as we love and care for one another." With these words Don Clark begins this look at our emerging gay identity. Clark, a clinical psychologist, has specialized in helping gay men, lesbians and those who love them. He believes that in coping with the AIDS epidemic the gay community has passed an important milestone. "Just as the police expected us to run from them and from one another when they raided the Stonewall in June of 1969, the world expected us to flee from one another in the face of this deadly epidemic. But we did not." Clark creates a clear picture of where we have been, where we are going, and emphasizes the vital importance of being As We Are. | ||

 | Pink Therapy 1st Edition | A comprehensive British volume on lesbian and gay affirmative psychotherapy has been a while coming. Pink Therapy, however, has arrived, amply fills this gap, and is well worth the wait. The literature reviews are masterful for scholars, and the book offers a comprehensive, thoughtful approach for clinicians. A deft editorial hand is evident in the unusual consistency across chapters, the uniformly crisp, helpful chapter summaries, and the practical appendices, generous resources lists and well organized bibliographies. Pink Therapy is the first British guide for counsellors and therapists working with people who are lesbian, gay or bisexual. It provides a much needed overview of lesbian, gay and bisexual psychology, and examines some of the differences between lesbians, gays and bisexuals, and heterosexuals. Pink Therapy proposes a model of gay affirmative therapy, which challenges the prevailing pathologizing models. It will help to provide answers to pressing questions such as: ... | ||

 | Thorn in the Starfish: The Immune System and How It Works | “Gives the reader the feeling of being granted a ringside seat to an exciting series of events. . . .This eminent scientist and writer conveys his enthusiasm for the subject. . . .He has managed to entertain, educate, and enthuse without either trivializing the complexity of the subject or underestimating the intelligence of the reader.” ―British Medical Journal Dr. Desowitz describes the revolutionary discoveries made by Jenner, Pasteur, Metchnikoff, and Ehrlich and what we know about immunology today. His topics include the role of nutrition, the challenge of developing an AIDS vaccine, and the potential of genetic-engineering techniques. | ||

 | Advocate Guide to Gay Health | "Here is a thorough, interesting and well-written guide for gay men and lesbians. As one would expect in a book with this title, The Advocate Guide to Gay Health gives a good look at the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. But it goes further than that, exploring many other aspects of health that have a special significance for the gay community: mental health, sexual dysfunction, concerns about aging, and safe versus dangerous sexual practices. I recommend it as a valuable, highly readable guide for all gay people." - Dr. Bruce Voeller | ||
