With some fantastic research examples by leading scholars in the field, and including discussion and classroom exercises, this text is an invaluable and inspiring resource. This is core reading for psychology students and those working in applied settings.' Keeley Abbott, Birmingham City University
'A thorough, engaging, and accessible journey through LGBTIQ psychology which incorporates the shifts and changes in both psychology and wider culture during recent years. With great coverage of theories and methods, identities and experiences, relationships and communities, and health and ageing, this should be a must-read on any undergraduate psychology student's list.' Meg-John Barker, The Open University, author of Queer: A Graphic History and co-founder of the journal Psychology & Sexuality
'This book is an ideal foundation for undergraduate courses on the psychology of sexual orientation and gender identity. The authors provide an inclusive and affirming approach to the diversity inherent in LGBTIQ identities and experiences. The new edition ensures that this rich and comprehensive introduction remains current, relevant, and accessible.' Rebecca P. Cameron, California State University, Sacramento
'Comprehensive, well organized, and with an international perspective, the authors use contemporary research-grounded theories to discuss many of the core issues that are relevant to LGBTIQ psychology today. Descriptions of current and potential research, combined with discussion questions and classroom exercises, make this the perfect Queer Psychology textbook.' Anne Duran, California State University, Bakersfield
'This expanded and updated textbook remains, ten years on, a unique and invaluable resource for students and teachers of psychology. It provides an accessible introduction to the stakes involved in doing LGBTIQ psychology at a time when threats to the health, wellbeing, identities, and families of people with diverse sexualities, genders, and/or sex characteristics are in a state of flux in some contexts and trenchantly resistant to change in others.' Peter Hegarty, University of Surrey
'This book is a wonderful introduction to the field, building on research and literature and providing thoughtful and balanced reflection throughout. Offering a wide-ranging look at LGBTIQ issues, including identity, queer theory, health, relationships, parenting, and many others, it is an excellent resource designed to support the teaching of a course or lecture block on LGBTIQ psychology. I recommend this book as essential reading for health and social care professionals, academics, researchers, and students at all levels in their career or study.' Alfonso Pezzella, Middlesex University London
'Rich in detail and analysis, this textbook provides a critically engaged introduction to the psychosocial issues pertaining to gender and sexual diversity. In accessible language, the authors discuss key concepts, theories, and research to show how bodies, identities, sexualities, and genders are shaped by history and power. This book is an indispensable resource for everybody interested in LGBTIQ psychology.' Christian Klesse, Manchester Metropolitan University
'Ellis, Riggs, and Peel have written the first comprehensive LGBTIQ psychology textbook, and they have done an exceptional job.' Amanda Liberman, Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine
