How do you respond to your married patient when he discloses to you his same-sex sexual history? To which medical studies do you turn when you need to know more about club drugs? As physicians and health professionals, you want to provide the best possible care for your patients, but medical schools and other health care teaching institutions do not generally provide comprehensive information on how to approach caring for sexual-minority patients. Allan D. Peterkin and Cathy Risdon have written Caring for Lesbian and Gay People ? the first medical guide to offer busy clinicians practical, accessible, and evidence-based information to help in the care of gay and lesbian patients.The authors begin with an overview of the history of medical relations with lesbian and gay patients, providing advice and guidelines for strengthening the doctor-patient relationship and raising the standard of care for all patients. The book then delves into a range of specific clinical issues, such as risk profiles for particular illnesses, screening for and managing sexually transmitted infections, and HIV in the primary care setting. Subsequent chapters cover such wide-ranging topics as mental health care and the effect of homophobia on relationships, same-sex parenting, the role that body image plays in health, and unique populations, such as lesbian and gay ethno-racial minorities, the transgendered, rural lesbian and gay people, and elders. Each chapter includes practical tips (advice on inclusive language, for example) and summaries, along with references, of written and online resources. Comprehensive and detailed, this work covers physical and mental health across the life cycle, with equal emphasis on women's and men's health.Based on more than twenty years of patient care and contributions to medical education and community development, this indispensable resource will greatly he 606 $aGays$xMedical care 606 $aLesbians$xMedical care 606 $aGays$xHealth and hygiene 606 $aLesbians$xHealth and hygiene 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGays$xMedical care. 615 0$aLesbians$xMedical care. 615 0$aGays$xHealth and hygiene. 615 0$aLesbians$xHealth and hygiene. 676 $a362.1/086/64 700 $aPeterkin$b Allan$01040688 702 $aRisdon$b Cathy 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455836003321 996 $aCaring for lesbian and gay people$92463756 997 $aUNINA
