After analyzing the different types of homophobia (individual, institutional, and internalized) and how these are manifested in real life situations, Tully addresses the special needs and issues particular to three age groups: gay and lesbian youth, adults, and older clients. The author offers practical applications for the social worker and client at the micro-, mezzo-, and macro-levels, from helping a teenage client to discover a personal sexual orientation (micro), to organizing a social event for lesbians and gays (mezzo), to building a community coalition (macro). Eye-opening case studies are provided for each age group and cover everything from defining problems, identifying the underlying issues causing them, understanding the role of homophobia, and the application of the empowerment perspective.Empowering the powerless.Lesbians, gays, and the empowerment perspectiveSocial work with gay peopleSocial work with lesbiansGay peopleSocial conditionsHomosexualityHomophobiaSocial work with gay people.Social work with lesbians.Gay peopleSocial conditions.Homosexuality.Homophobia.362.8Tully Carol T.1194658MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817054403321Lesbians, gays, and the empowerment perspective4126160UNINA
