What therapists are saying…

"In this excellent video, developmental stages of the coming out process are discussed, as are the range of parental reactions to a child’s coming out. First person accounts of both a lesbian and the mother of a gay son about the coming out process are illuminating."

-- Sukie Magraw, PhD, Chair, PsyD  Program, JFK University
"Psychotherapy with Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Clients is the best collection of DVDs about the social and psychological dimensions of this community. The series is well researched and covers many significant issues that GLB people meet in the course of their lives. I would recommend them to a wide audience including psychotherapists. family members, and GLB people themselves."

-- Charles Silverstein, PhD, Founding Editor, The Journal of Homosexuality
