Bradford J, et
al. (1994). National Lesbian Health Care Survey: implications
for mental health care. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology,
Vol. 62(2), 228-42.
Abstract: This article presents demographic,
lifestyle, and mental health information about 1,925 lesbians from all
50 states who participated as respondents in the National Lesbian Health
Care Survey (1984-1985), the most comprehensive study on U.S. lesbians
to date. Over half the sample had had thoughts about suicide at some time,
and 18% had attempted suicide. Thirty-seven percent had been physically
abused as a child or adult, 32% had been raped or sexually attacked, and
19% had been involved in incestuous relationships while growing up. Almost
one third used tobacco on a daily basis, and about 30% drank alcohol more
than once a week, 6% daily. About three fourths had received counseling
at some time, and half had done so for reasons of sadness and depression.
Lesbians in the survey also were socially connected and had a variety of
social supports, mostly within the lesbian community. However, few had
come out to all family members and coworkers. Level of openness about lesbianism
was associated with less fear of exposure and with more choices about mental
health counseling.

et al. (1996). The national lesbian family study: 1. interviews
with prospective mothers. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 66(2),

Abstract by authors: This
first report from a longitudinal study of 84 lesbian families, 70 of which
include a co-mother as well as a birthmother whose child was conceived
by donor insemination, presents interview data on parental relationships,
social supports, pregnancy motives and preferences, stigmatization concerns,
and coping strategies. Methodological limitations of studying this special
population are noted, and plans for follow-up interviews over the course
of 25 years are outlined.

lesbians and gay men: mental health and treatment issues. Journal of
Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol. 62(2), 243-51.
Abstract: Clinical psychological
research has been a part of a significant growth of scholarly literature
in mental health that appropriately explores relevant cultural variables
and their effects on both the mental health and treatment of ethnic minority
group members. A similar expansion of material seeking to develop affirmative
perspectives in the treatment of gay men and lesbians has also found its
way into the psychological literature. Scarcely any research seeks to explore
the particular psychological strengths and vulnerabilities of men and women
who are members of both groups. This article reviews literature pertinent
to the cultural proscriptions of several ethnic minority groups and their
relevance to mental health issues and treatment of gay and lesbian members,
as well as a review of potential countertransference dilemmas for therapists.

clinical implications. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 67(1),
20-36.
Abstract by authors: A review
of the literature on the prevalence of alcohol use and problems among lesbians
reveals that the few studies yielding information on this population are
beset by design and methodological problems. Those factors possibly associated
with higher risk status of lesbians are identified, as are gaps in the
literature, and implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.

et al. (1989). Alcohol and drug use among homosexual men and women:
epidemiology and population characteristics. Addictive Behaviors, 14(5):
545-553.
Abstract by author: Homosexual
men and women have been described as at high risk for alcohol and drug
abuse, due to psychosocial variables such as stress levels or the cultural
importance of bar settings. However, there are few actual data in this
regard. This paper presents the findings of a large (n = 3400) survey of
a homosexual population regarding population characteristics and patterns
of alcohol and drug use. Psychosocial variables that may account for substance
use patterns both generally and in this population are discussed in an
accompanying paper. Substantially higher proportions of the homosexual
sample used alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine than was the case in the general
population. Contrary to other reports, this was not accompanied by higher
rates of heavy use, although homosexuals did show higher rates of alcohol
problems. In the general population women consume less drugs and alcohol
than do men, and substance use substantially declines with age. Neither
of these patterns were found for the homosexual sample, thus creating overall
higher rates of substance abuse. This may reflect differences between homosexuals
and the general population in their adherence to sex-role stereotypes and
age-related social role changes, as well as culturally specific stressors
and vulnerability to substance use.

lesbian, gay male, and bisexual youths: associations with school problems,
running away, substance abuse, prostitution, and suicide. Journal of
Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol. 62(2), 261-9.
Abstract: A common theme identified
in empirical studies and clinical reports of lesbian, gay male, and bisexual
youths is the chronic stress that is created by the verbal and physical
abuse they receive from peers and adults. This article reviews the verbal
and physical abuse that threatens the well-being and physical survival
of lesbian, gay male, and bisexual youths. This response to gay male, lesbian,
and bisexual adolescents by significant others in their environment is
often associated with several problematic outcomes, including school-related
problems, running away from home, conflict with the law, substance abuse,
prostitution, and suicide. Although the causal link between these stressors
and outcomes has not been scientifically established, there is suggestive
evidence that these outcomes are consequences of verbal and physical harassment.

orientation and gender as factors in socioculturally acquired vulnerability
to body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. Journal of Consulting
and Clinical Psychology, Vol. 62(2), 252-60.
Abstract: This study investigated
the hypothesis that gay men and heterosexual women are dissatisfied with
their bodies and vulnerable to eating disorders because of a shared emphasis
on physical attractiveness and thinness that is based on a desire to attract
and please men. Although men place priority on physical attractiveness
in evaluating potential partners, women place greater emphasis on other
factors, such as personality, status, power, and income. Therefore, lesbians
and heterosexual men are less concerned with their own physical attractiveness
and, consequently, less dissatisfied with their bodies and less vulnerable
to eating disorders. Several instruments measuring body satisfaction, the
importance of physical attractiveness, and symptoms of eating disorders
were administered to 250 college students. The sample included 53 lesbians,
59 gay men, 62 heterosexual women, and 63 heterosexual men. Multivariate
and univariate analyses of variance were used to examine the differences
among the scores of lesbians, gay men, heterosexual women, and heterosexual
men on these various constructs. The results generally confirmed the research
hypothesis. The implications and ramifications these findings have for
the understanding of both the psychology of lesbians and gay men and the
prevention and treatment of eating disorders are discussed.

Abstract by author: Sources
of risk for HIV infection in members of the lesbian community are surveyed,
together with factors that adversely affect access to appropriate health
care by women in general and lesbians in particular. Issues of clinical
practice, research, and public policy are examined with a view to promoting
more effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract by authors: A longitudinal
study of 25 young adults from lesbian families and 21 raised by heterosexual
single mothers revealed that those raised by lesbian mothers functioned
well in adulthood in terms of psychological well-being and of family identity
and relationships. The commonly held assumption that lesbian mothers will
have lesbian daughters and gay sons was not supported by the findings.

Info-Pages were located at the University of Southampton from 2000
to 2003, this being the result of a collaboration with Dr. Chris Bagley,
Department

offer his expertise whenever needed and he has supplied, free of charge,
the hosting of the site - Youth

is located.
Computer
time was also supplied by Rick Reist & Glenn Lynas, and Glenn also
supplied other forms of assistance.
