Description

Gay and Lesbian Professionals in the Closet examines the profound impact of workplace concealment on LGBTQ+ helping professionals, exploring isolation, fear, paranoia, and the internal conflict between public role and authentic identity. This Routledge publication presents multiple perspectives on sexual orientation disclosure within professional healthcare and social services contexts, analysing the arguments supporting different positions and revealing why this issue remains nuanced and multifaceted. The book addresses why many practitioners in helping professions hesitate to disclose their sexual orientation to clients, whilst examining the psychological and social costs of maintaining such boundaries. Essential reading for social workers, counsellors, therapists, and academics studying LGBTQ+ experiences in professional environments, this text provides critical insight into the tension between personal authenticity and professional practice standards.
