ABSTRACT
The introduction to the 2nd edition of the Handbook of LGBTQ Affirmative Couple and Family Therapy outlines the rationale for a new edition and the changes contained within it. The 2nd edition broadens the focus of affirmative therapy to address heteronormativity and intersectionality, and explores how to utilize clinical work which addresses societal level injustice with specificity and rigor in order to become truly affirming to all LGBTQ people.
