Reviews:

“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…. I particularly liked the contributors’ subtle appreciation of theoretical nuance, genuine open-mindedness to diversity of ideas, and willingness to synthesise in a pragmatic and client-oriented manner”John C. Gonsiorek, Past President , Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian and Gay Issues (Division 44 of the American Psychological Association

~It is all too easy for the liberal heterosexual therapist to imagine he or she has it all sewn up as far as attitudes to homosexuality are concerned. This book shows that even the politically correct, have so much to learn not just about being gay, lesbian or bisexual, but also about research into sexuality, attitudes amongst therapists, and on training courses as well as in the development of psychotherapy and counselling.” Michael Jacobs. BACP Fellow and author of numerous psychodynamic textbooks.

Reviews:

~An invaluable resource for all therapists and counsellors. (And I do mean all.) The book’s challenging and innovative strategy of linking theoretical orientation and sexual orientation sets it apart from other, apparently similar volumes. The various contributions are notable for the exemplary way they link psychological concepts and the human experience of therapist and client in the work.Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex

~Written from a well-informed insider’s perspective on each theory, this book demonstrates a real coming of age of therapeutic work with lesbian, gay and bisexual clients. Many books in the past have been written about the difficulties of therapeutic work with these clients. This book, by contrast, puts theoretical perspectives on the couch, explores their strengths and weaknesses in relation to this client group and offers affirming strategies and solutions to working within these models.” Sue Webb, President of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors

“A diverse and extremely useful set of chapters at the cutting edge of thinking on work with sexual minorities…. An important and too often neglected aspect of therapists’ and counsellors’ training which this book does much to correct.” Susie Orbach, author of The Impossibility of Sex
