The Social Work and LGBTQ Sexual Trauma Casebook: Phenomenological Perspectives


Add your own review!

Overview

"This inspiring text offers a collection of case studies from expert clinical social workers who work closely with survivors of LGBTQ-related sexual trauma. The book covers a wide range of topics, such as gender and sexual minority asylum seekers, the embodiment of queer identity, the role of religion, regionality in the LGBTQ experience, and effective use of gay affirmative therapy. Each chapter is framed by key questions that encourage students and mental health practitioners to ""think through"" the specific needs and challenges of LGBTQ individuals who have experienced sexual trauma. Additional resources include an example of effective supervision and an example of a case conceptualization. Drawing on the importance of narrative social work and the record of experience it provides, The Social Work and LGBTQ Sexual Trauma Casebook is an essential text for students and clinical social workers working with LGBTQ survivors of sexual trauma."

Reviews

Trauma related to being LGBTQ or non-binary is sadly all too common, and the field has long needed an in-depth exploration of sexual traumas, especially one designed for practicing social workers. Presented by experienced clinicians, the case studies include people living in other nations and cultures, in the child protection system, those who are immigrants or asylum seekers, and those having struggles with religion, who are seeking psychotherapy to cope with a range of life crises. Enriched by invitations to reflect on each case presented, this casebook is a must read for those dedicated to affirmative practice with LBGTQ and non-binary people who have experienced sexual trauma. Jeane W. Anastas, Ph.D., LMSW, ACSW, professor of social work, New York University This innovative book offers several rich and in-depth case examples which can be used to deepen both education and clinical supervision. What makes this book distinct is how the editors focused the contributors on writing to the question and considering how to create play in the clinical encounter. For example, instead of bringing a theoretical orientation to the clinical encounter, they encouraged centering not-knowing in order to deeply sit listening for what the client says, who the client is, and what the client needs. The focus on LGBTQ Trauma is critical as there are few texts that integrate theory, literature and practice for this often-invisible population. This book seamlessly provides core readings and questions at the end of each case to allow space for more questioning, learning, understanding and growing. Impressive compilation of scholars bringing together complex, current case contexts, such as undocumented youth, gender-non-conforming, and traumatic experiences, to name a few. Michelle R. Munson, Ph.D., LMSW, professor, New York University Silver School of Social Work
