Peel, Elizabeth; Clarke, Victoria; Drescher, Jack

Abstract

We are delighted to welcome readers to this collection of papers showcasing current developments in lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) psychological and psychotherapeutic theory, research and practice in the United Kingdom. This is our second foray into the international arena, having published in Volume 7 of Journal of Gay & Lesbian Psychotherapy
a special volume entitled “The Mental Health Professions
and Homosexuality: International Perspectives (issued in monograph volume as Lingiardi and Drescher, 2003). In that previous collection, our lone UK contributor, the late Daniel Twomey (2003), focused on psychoanalytic perspectives about and attitudes toward homosexuality
in the UK.
