ABSTRACT
Feeling Queer or Queer Feelings? presents highly innovative and contemporary ideas for counsellors, counselling and clinical psychologists and psychotherapists to consider in their work with non-heterosexual clients.
Ground-breaking ideas are presented by new thinkers in the area for issues such as:
- coming out
- transgender desire
- theoretical modalities in working with HIV
- the role of therapy in bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadomasochism
- the use of queer theory in therapeutic research.
Feeling Queer or Queer Feelings? will challenge present ideas about sex, gender and sexuality, and will prove to be invaluable for clinicians in this field.
