Summary "In Sexual Orientation and Mental Health: Examining Identity and Development in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People, expert contributors explore the impressive body of rigorous empirical research on mental health in lesbian, gay, and bisexual people that has emerged over the past decade. This volume presents some of the most important work in this field from both established and emerging investigators.
