This unique resource provides strengths-based, group counseling strategies designed to meet the needs of LGBTQI clients in a variety of settings. Drs. Goodrich and Luke capture the developmental concerns of LGBTQI individuals throughout the life cycle as they establish and maintain intimate relationships, create families, encounter career concerns, and navigate other milestones and transitions. Illustrative case examples and interventions throughout the text, as well as warnings and recommendations, make this an ideal resource for practice and group-work courses. After a discussion of the history of group work with the LGBTQI community, the planning and process issues that group leaders should consider in their work, and relevant ethical and legal concerns, the authors explore a range of group types and pertinent issues. Individual chapters focus on the following types of counseling: child and adolescent; same-gender adult; intersex and transgender; coming out/disclosure; school, community outpatient, and residential; couples and family; substance abuse; grief and loss; and advocacy. Chapters on group-work supervision and the importance of allies round out the book.

If you've become a prisoner of your own career, a new book teaches the strategies of a very exclusive society-people who love their jobs and how they went about getting them. Life in the World of YOMO: Start the Adventure to Your Perfect Calling, by Dr. Melissa Luke, is a must-have manual for anyone about to enter into a job hunt, and especially for those dissatisfied with their career - which is four out of five Americans. Life in the World of YOMO is a funny and true story about the trials and tribulations of a serial entrepreneur, later to become a highly degreed (but abnormal) professor. The book helps people understand how unimportant academics are, and focuses on career satisfaction by outlining a step-by-step process using a cartoon avatar called a YOMO. This odd but delightful format makes anyone at any age question if they should really go back to school, accept a mediocre job, or just sit in the bathtub in attempts to create the next best "pet rock". The answers might be frightening, but may be career altering for ones life...
