Uncharted Lives: Understanding the Life Passages of Gay Men

Through identifying the passages & signposts of a gay man s psychological development, Siegel demonstrates that cultivating creativity is an adaptive strategy required for social & emotional survival throughout a gay man s life. Forced from their earliest days to contend with the disadvantages of oppression & ostracism, to develop without encouragement from role models & families & friends, gay men repeatedly invent original solutions to life s dilemmas. They create their own road map to navigate the obstacles & challenges placed before them by a hostile society. More than 100 anecdotal interviews with gay men of all ages.

<p>In this entertaining, surprising, and thought-provoking book, family therapist Stanley Siegel challenges conventional therapeutic thinking with an unusual approach: instead of trying to "fix" clients, he encourages them to appreciate their own adaptive ingenuity. In the process, something remarkable almost always happens -- as in the case of the couple who solved their conflict only after literally building a wall within their home. These dozen stories demonstrate Siegel's convictions that the therapist has as much to learn as the patient, and that real healing is possible only when the healer truly respects his or her patients.</p>
