Book Overview
Sexual Orientation in Child and Adolescent Health Care serves as a resource for child health care professionals including pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, pediatric psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, and social workers. The issues of sexuality and sexual orientation now generate great interest among those who treat children. This volume describes the effects of stigmatization on non-heterosexual physicians, patients, and students, and discusses a variety of clinically relevant topics including the development of sexual orientations, children of gay or lesbian parents, young children with gender atypical behavior, and the healthcare needs of gay and lesbian adolescents. The last two chapters describe methods for improvement in medical education and medical care, and provide extensive resources available to professionals and consumers.

Excellent and much-needed resource!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a comprehensively researched and well-written book that provides a much-needed resource to all in the health care community as well as child health policy makers. It provides a single source of detailed information on sexuality in children and adolescents that is not otherwise available. It provides the reader with a practical understanding of the struggles of being nonheterosexual and the negative impact of stigmatization. It provides balanced discussions of sometimes controversial subjects that are a welcome science-based perspective. Franklin Trimm, MD, FAAP.
A valuable addition to the pediatric literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is a must read for health care professionals, educators, and others who work with children, adolescents, and families. Dr. Perrin wonderfully reviews the scientific & medical literature on sexual orientation, children, youths, & families, as well as the physical health, mental health, and social justice reasons that we should all care about that literature. I will be a better pediatrician to all of the children & families in my care for having read this book.
