LGBT-Parent Families is the first handbook to provide a comprehensive examination of this underserved area. Reflecting the nature of this issue, the volume is notably interdisciplinary, with contributions from scholars in psychology, sociology, human development, family studies, gender studies, sexuality studies, legal studies, social work, and anthropology. Additionally, scholarship from regions beyond the U.S. including England, Australia, Canada, and South Africa is presented. In addition to gender and sexuality, all contributors address issues of social class, race, and ethnicity in their chapters.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"LGBT-Parent Families: Innovations in Research and Implications for Practice edited by Abbie Goldberg and Katherine Allen is a cohesive and thorough collection of what is known about lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) parents and their families. ... an excellent resource for graduate students and professors, as well as for clinicians and consultants working with LGBT-parent families. ... the chapters in this volume would be excellent resources for students learning to critically evaluate scholarly work, as the authors very thoughtfully do this." (Richard Niolon, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 58 (26), June, 2013)
