Until recently, the couples and family therapy literature has ignored same-sex families and few clinicians have had training in this area. In this groundbreaking program, you will see: Dr. Robert Jay Green, an innovative researcher and clinician, emphasizes key issues and new approaches in providing mental health services to GLB couples, including relational ambiguity, sexual exclusivity, and development of social support networks. Dr. Armand Cerbone joins Dr. Green in a discussion of how internalized homophobia affects relationships. Dr. Richard Rodriguez discusses the importance of families of choice for GLB couples. Dr. Isaiah Crawford, a leading scholar on same-sex parenting, summarizes research-based characteristics of GLB family const...ellations, as well as provide very helpful suggestions on how therapists can provide support to GLB families. Throughout this program interview clips from same-sex couples, parents and their children are used to illustrate and personalize the important material covered by the expert presenters. This video program will enhance your understanding of GLB relationships and families, allowing you to be more effective in conducting individual and couples therapy with this population.
