Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Health Inequalities: International Perspectives in Social Work

This ground-breaking book examines inequalities experienced by LGBT people and considers the role of social work in addressing them.

The book is organised in three parts: the first provides a policy context in four countries, the second examines social work practice in tackling health inequalities, and part three considers research and pedagogic developments. The book's distinctive approach includes international contributions, practice vignettes and key theoretical perspectives in health inequalities, including social determinants of health, minority stress, ecological approaches and human rights.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans health inequalities is relevant to social work educators, practitioners and students, alongside an interdisciplinary audience interested in LGBT health inequalities.
