Deconstructing Heterosexism in the Counseling Professions: A Narrative Approach

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual counseling professionals describe their confrontation with sexual orientation issues in their personal and professional lives. Among their perspectives are moving from random acts of inclusion toward LGB-affirmative institutions; bisexual invisibility, alienation, and misperceptions; challenging multiple oppressions in counselor education; a Jewish, bisexual feminist; the evolution of responsibility; race and sexual orientation in multicultural counseling; toward sexual orientation equity in academic and clinical training; and affect, relationships, and power.
