With contributions from an interdisciplinary and international group of leading scholars, this volume covers every contemporary topic concerning LGBT families, including transgender parenting and LGBTQ youth with LGBTQ parents. Co-editors Drs. Goldberg and Allen have done an outstanding job in assembling experts to present overviews of the research and suggest applications for clinical work, policy, and advocacy. I highly recommend that this book be included in college and post-graduate social science courses on family life. This manual is essential reading for all clinicians.\" - \u003ci\u003eNanette Gartrell, MD, Williams Institute Visiting Distinguished Scholar, UCLA School of Law, Principal Investigator, U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The appearance of a handbook on LGBT-parent families signals and advances the mainstreaming of a category of family that just a short time ago was utterly marginal, subversive, even illegal.\"--from the Foreword by Judith Stacey, Ph.D.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParalleling their gains in legal rights and social acceptance is a rapidly growing knowledge base concerning sexually diverse families.

Inclusiveness beyond sexuality and gender is a crucial dimension of this volume: issues of race\/ethnicity, social class, and geographic diversity are discussed by most of the contributors, including a chapter devoted to non-Western perspectives. Diverse, too, are the disciplines represented in the book, from psychology and psychiatry to human development and legal studies.
