Book Description
There is minimal research addressing the mental health outcomes of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people of color (LGB-POC). Meyer's (2003; 2015) minority stress theory posits that the manifestation of depression and anxiety symptomology is due to the excess distal and proximal stress that minority groups face because of their societal marginalization. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive value of distal stress measures (e.g. LGBT-POC microaggressions and daily heterosexist/racist experiences) and proximal identity concepts (e.g., self-stigma, identity salience, and sexual orientation rumination) for self-reported depression/anxiety symptoms among LGB-POC. Data were collected via an online survey involving a sample of 88 LGB-POC. Plurisexual participants reported higher rates of negative mental health outcomes in comparison to monosexual participants. Regression analyses suggested that proximal stressors accounted for 15% more of variance in reported mental health outcomes than distal stress factors, alone. Distal and proximal minority stressors, together, accounted for 33% of the variance in participants' responses of mental health symptoms. Implications regarding mental health outcomes for LGB-POC are discussed.

Book Description
Winner, 2014 Lambda Literary Award in LGBT Studies Since the 1970s, a key goal of lesbian and gay activists has been protection against street violence, especially in gay neighborhoods. During the same time, policymakers and private developers declared the containment of urban violence to be a top priority. In this important book, Christina B. Hanhardt examines how LGBT calls for "safe space" have been shaped by broader public safety initiatives that have sought solutions in policing and privatization and have had devastating effects along race and class lines. Drawing on extensive archival and ethnographic research in New York City and San Francisco, Hanhardt traces the entwined histories of LGBT activism, urban development, and U.S. policy in relation to poverty and crime over the past fifty years. She highlights the formation of a mainstream LGBT movement, as well as the very different trajectories followed by radical LGBT and queer grassroots organizations. Placing LGBT activism in the context of shifting liberal and neoliberal policies, Safe Space is a groundbreaking exploration of the contradictory legacies of the LGBT struggle for safety in the city.

Book Description
The increase in prevalence and visibility of sexually gender diverse (SGD) populations illuminates the need for greater understanding of the ways in which current laws, systems, and programs affect their well-being. Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, or intersex, as well as those who express same-sex or -gender attractions or behaviors, will have experiences across their life course that differ from those of cisgender and heterosexual individuals. Characteristics such as age, race and ethnicity, and geographic location intersect to play a distinct role in the challenges and opportunities SGD people face. Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations reviews the available evidence and identifies future research needs related to the well-being of SDG populations across the life course. This report focuses on eight domains of well-being; the effects of various laws and the legal system on SGD populations; the effects of various public policies and structural stigma; community and civic engagement; families and social relationships; education, including school climate and level of attainment; economic experiences (e.g., employment, compensation, and housing); physical and mental health; and health care access and gender-affirming interventions. The recommendations of Understanding the Well-Being of LGBTQI+ Populations aim to identify opportunities to advance understanding of how individuals experience sexuality and gender and how sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status affect SGD people over the life course.

Book Description
From a pioneering researcher, this book synthesizes the best current knowledge on resilience in children and adolescents. Ann S. Masten explores what allows certain individuals to thrive and adapt despite adverse circumstances, such as poverty, chronic family problems, or exposure to trauma. Coverage encompasses the neurobiology of resilience as well as the role of major contexts of development: families, schools, and culture. Identifying key protective factors in early childhood and beyond, Masten provides a cogent framework for designing programs to promote resilience. Complex concepts are carefully defined and illustrated with real-world examples.

Book Description
?In this new book, the successor to the classic in the field Counseling Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Substance Abusers: Dual Identities by Dana G. Finnegan and Emily B. McNally, Michael Shelton reviews the empirical literature and synthesizes what we know about the prevalence of LGBT substance use, abuse, and treatment availability, emphasizing the need for affirmative therapeutic practices. The principles of trauma-informed and culturally competent treatment/intervention are explained and assessed, as well as the challenges of minority stress and microaggressions experienced by the LGBT population. Separate sections focus on the sub-populations of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals. Separate chapters focus on LGBT youth, the elderly, family constellations and concerns, criminal justice issues, and rural LGBT substance abuse. This volume provides an introduction to the field that will be useful both as a primary textbook and as a handbook/reference for LGBT-focused and general substance-use disorder clinics and their administrators, clinicians, trainees, allies and volunteers.

Book Description
Previous research on individuals who belong to a single stigmatized group indicates that experiencing stigma-related stressors like discrimination is related to increased mental illness and lower psychological well-being. A small body of literature on individuals with multiple stigmatized identities demonstrates that possessing more marginalized identities is associated with exposure to multiple stigma-related stressors and poorer mental health and well-being. However, the relationships between stigma-related stressors and outcomes differ based on identity and the type of stigma-related stressor encountered. The present study sought to improve our understanding of how exposure to multiple stigma-related stressors relates to psychological distress and psychological well-being by examining Black sexual minorities' experiences with stress related to racism, heterosexism, and sexism. Using data gathered from an internet-based survey, this study investigated each stigma-related stressor’s relationship with depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, and psychological well-being. In addition, it examined the interactions between stigma-related stressors and investigated whether support seeking, accommodation, and escape coping moderate the relationships between stigma-related stress, psychological distress, and psychological well-being. Results showed that heterosexism-related stress was a significant predictor of depression for Black sexual minority women, with higher levels of heterosexism-related stress associated with higher levels of depression. No other statistically significant results were found for the study’s main hypotheses. Qualitative data gathered from open-ended questions about participants’ experiences of multiple minority stress were used to supplement the study’s findings. This data showed that Black sexual minority women described heterosexism and sexism as a stressor more often than Black sexual minority men. In addition, Black sexual minority men described racism as a stressor more often than Black sexual minority women. Limitations of the study are discussed as well as implications of the study’s findings for future research and public health interventions.

Book Description
The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.
