An introduction to LGBT substance use disorders -- Factors leading to LGBT substance abuse -- Treatment of LGBT substance abuse -- Trans people and substance use -- Bisexual individuals and substance use -- Lesbians and substance use -- Gay men and substance use -- LGBT youth and substance use -- LGBT elders and substance use -- Substance use and LGBT family constellations -- LGBT substance users in the criminal justice system -- LGBT individuals in rural environments.
Summary: In this new book, the successor to the classic in the field Counseling Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Substance Abusers: Dual Identities by Dana G. Finnegan and Emily B. McNally, Michael Shelton reviews the empirical literature and synthesizes what we know about the prevalence of LGBT substance use, abuse, and treatment availability, emphasizing the need for affirmative therapeutic practices. The principles of trauma-informed and culturally competent treatment/intervention are explained and assessed, as well as the challenges of minority stress and microaggressions experienced by the LGBT population. Separate sections focus on the sub-populations of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals. Separate chapters focus on LGBT youth, the elderly, family constellations and concerns, criminal justice issues, and LGBT rural substance abuse. This volume provides an introduction to the field that will be useful both as a primary textbook and as a handbook/reference for LGBT-focused and general substance-use disorder clinics and their administrators, clinicians, trainees, allies and volunteers.
