- Summary:
- The experiences of LGBT older adults have been characterized by social stigma systematic discrimination, and isolation factors that have shaped their thinking and that continue to affect their well-being into the later years. Yet these same challenges have also led many of these individuals to develop unique strengths and surprising levels of resilience-coping mechanisms that have often allowed them to lead rewarding lives in difficult circumstance and that may be helping them meet the challenges of aging. Taking such a life course perspective, the leading experts in this timely volume present findings and strategies that will assist psychologists and other mental health professionals in their work with this historically overlooked but increasingly visible population.
