From the reviews:
"The practical recommendations offered by Perrin will make her book
valuable not only to pediatricians, but also to professionals who
evaluate medical school curriculums and supervise residents. Sexual
Orientation in Child and Adolescent Health Care will surely help
health care professionals to embrace their homosexual patients and
families and will educate those who have been unaware of the needs
and experiences of a small, but nonetheless important, segment of
the population."
(New England Journal of Medicine, 348:6, February 2003)
"In its writing, Perrin beautifully exemplifies the pediatrician
engaged in matters of social justice[...] In general, the book is
well written, easy to read, and ambitious in its scope. It will be
a useful resource for medical students, residents, and clinicians
looking for a practical synopsis of an ever-expanding body of
information."
(Gary Remafedi, MD, MPH, University of Minnesota in Archives of
Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, 157, March 2003)
"This is a well researched and written book and I recommend it to
clinicians who care for children, young people and their families,
as well as for medical educators who can influence curricula."
(Professor Doris Young, University of Melbourne, VIC in Australian
Family Physician, 32:1/2, Jan/Feb 2003)
"Her book comprehensively documents the current deficiencies in the
field, integrates research within clinical observations, and offers
incisive theoretical and practical suggestions to aid pediatric
health care professionals in serving the needs of their young
homosexual patients, as well as the needs of children of gay or
lesbian parents[....] The practical recommendations offered by
Perrin will make her book valuable not only to pediatricians, but
also to professionals who evaluate medical school curriculums and
supervise residents."
(Esther D. Rothblum, Ph.D., University of Vermont in New England
Journal of Medicine, 348:6, February 2003)
