LGBT curriculum for discussion

From the USA comes an interesting set of materials for use in the training of mental health professionals in work with patients who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) http://www.aglp.org/gap/
The materials are free to use and copy.

I am currently thinking about an article/book chapter on personality development in children and young people who come to define themselves, either at the time or in later life, as LGBT. There seems to be a dearth of personality development material which does justice to the lives of real people - not the parody characters that exist in the pages of psychoanalytic journals up until recently. If any blog readers have ideas on this subject it would be interesting if they could post a comment. I am especially interested in comments from blog readers who have undertaken, or are undertaking, training in counselling, psychotherapy, clinical psychology and/or psychoanalysis.

Charles Silverstein has recently written a book about a psychotherapy assessment he undertook with a gay man who could not be further away from the parody characters that used to people the pages of the psychoanalytic journals.  A number of LGBT psychotherapists and other clinicians comment on the initial interview. I have reviewed the book in the next edition of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

The book is available both as an e-book and in hardback.
