LGBTIQ+ people are more
likely than cisgender and heterosexual individuals to suffer with mental health
issues, yet often have poorer therapeutic outcomes. Mainstream Eurocentric
psychotherapeutic theories, developed largely by heterosexual, cisgender and
white theorists, tend to see LGBTIQ+ as a singular group through this "othered"
lens. Despite the undeniable value offered by many of these theories, they and
those who use them - queer therapists included - can often pathologize,
marginalize, misunderstand and diminish the flourishing and diversity of queer
experience.

In this volume, editor and psychotherapist Jane C. Czyzselska speaks with practitioners and clients from diverse modalities and lived
experiences, exploring and rethinking some of the unique challenges encountered in a world that continues to marginalize queer lives.

The contributors to Queering Psychotherapy present key insights and practical advice in adynamic conversational format, providing intimate access to therapists'
personal and professional knowledge and reflections. This book is an invaluable training in itself.
