James M Croteau, Julianne S Lark and Teresa S Lance Our Stories Will Be Told: Deconstructing the Heterosexist Discourse in the Counseling Professions / Part One: Narrative Voices / Introduction to Part One / Part One: Narratives Voices / Eve M Adams Moving from Random Acts of Inclusion toward LGB-Affirmative Institutions / Alan D Berkowitz.
Deconstructing Heterosexism in the Counseling Professions uses the personal narratives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual counselling psychologists and counsellor educators in order to deconstruct the heterosexist discourse in the counselling professions, envision a discourse of sexual orientation equity, and make practical suggestions for addressing sexual orientation in professional life. The narrative approach encompasses a diversity of stories and experiences including an emphasis on racial and cultural contexts. These narratives and their analyses serve as a means for the individual and collective self examination that is needed to move LGB affirmative practice, training, and scholarship from the margins to the center of what it means to be a counselling professional.
