LGBTQ+ Affirmative Psychological Interventions : A Latine/x Perspective

This book comes from the assertion that psychology has the potential to influence the global context, particularly in the topic of sexual and gender diversity/LGBTIQ+ affirmative psychological interventions. This book brings forth the possibilities of re-thinking our role as psychologists/researchers in providing affirmative care for Latine/x LGBTQ+ individuals, communities, and families. Commonly LGBTQ+ research and interventions widely cover the experiences of sexual minorities (with a focus on gay and lesbian experiences) and, thus, a focus on gender identity is a strength of this book.
This book is divided into two main sections: (1) the experiences of trans and nonbinary people, with emphasis on contemporary issues that affect gender identity among Latine/x communities in Latin America and the United States, people who do not conform to hegemonic narratives about gender; and (2) sexual identity among Latine/x LGBTIQ+ people and their families and communities, with focus on sexual orientation issues grouped in LG/LGB identities, the inclusion of other wider denominations as sex/gender dissidence, and the inclusion of intersex and other extensive sexuality denominations.
