Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Health Inequalities: International Perspectives in Social Work: International Perspectives in Social Work

Editat de Julie Fish, Kate Karban
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2015
This pioneering study examines inequalities experienced by LGBT people in health care and considers the role of social work in addressing the inequity. The book is organized into three parts: the first provides a policy context in four countries, the second examines social work practice in tackling health inequalities, and the third considers research and pedagogic developments. The volume’s distinctive international approach features practice vignettes as well as key theoretical perspectives on the components of health inequalities, including social determinants of health, minority stress, ecological approaches, and human rights. With a preface from Gary Bailey, president of the International Federation of Social Workers, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Health Inequalities will be relevant to an interdisciplinary, international audience of social work educators, practitioners, and students.

Recenzii

“Committed to health equity and human rights, this valuable book offers important theoretical and practical insights to improve LGBT wellbeing across the lifecourse, from early childhood to end-of-life care, and does so cognizant of commingled inequitable power relations involving sexuality, class, race/ethnicity, and gender, within and between nations.”

"An outstanding contribution to the field of LGBT studies in social work, and its ability to walk the line between social and individual worlds is outstanding."

“An important and innovative addition to the growing research on LGBT health disparities. The book provides both a social work and an international perspective to a field typically dominated by US-based public health research.”

“An important contribution to the knowledge needed by those on social work services to understand the complex matrix not only of the persistent discrimination experienced by LGBT people but the health inequalities they encounter on their journeys through life.”

“This original book gives a much-needed focus on the role of social work in addressing LGBT health inequalities. It makes a vital and necessary contribution towards promoting equality for LGBT people.”

“This informative international volume on how social work can address LGBT health inequities and promote positive social care outcomes, an emerging discipline within the field, balances micro and macro level points of view and successfully straddles human rights and social justice perspectives.  Orienting readers to the processes of marginalization of this oppressed and vulnerable population, the production of inequality, and the construction of risk, the book serves as a theoretical, practical guide to what social workers can and should do.  Well organized and written, the book offers a comprehensive glossary and great summary sections on current knowledge at the end of each chapter, explains what the chapter adds, and points out its relevance for social work and LGBT health inequities. Other strengths include the book's depth of coverage on practical interventions and best practices, especially with older LGBT people, and a particularly strong chapter on pedagogy by Susan Saltzburg. Social work has a major role to play in addressing and redressing these health inequalities; this text does a service to the profession by giving it a place to begin. . . . Highly recommended.”
