Yet their experiences have often been ignored in gerontological and LGBT studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this important and timely volume, Orel and Fruhauf bring together crucial research from leading experts in the field to shed light on the unique challenges facing this oft-overlooked but growing population. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book uses a life course perspective to investigate how LGBT older adults have been shaped by social stigma and systematic discrimination. Although many of their experiences are similar to those of younger LGBT individuals, LGBT elders grew up in a particularly oppressive time, which continues to impact their well-being. However, these individuals have also developed coping mechanisms to adapt to stigma, discrimination, and the challenges of aging. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Thus, the book explores not only the challenges and needs of this population but also their strengths and resilience. The intersection of cultural factors and personal attributes is highlighted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Orel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433817632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433817632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Psychological Association (APA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Nancy Orel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419492729087,"sku":"9781433817632","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c20c2ba2-6160-4a9c-a82c-97479366c8e1.jpg?v=1761511872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lives-of-lgbt-older-nancy-orel-9781433817632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
