Richly descriptive and eminently readable, Queer Social Work is a
welcome addition to the available literature on social work
practice with LGBTQ+ people. The volume is particularly valuable
for its rich illustrations of intersectionality in client
identities and the implications of these intersectional identities
for each client's life problems and sources of potential
support.
*James I. Martin, New York University*
Argüello and his colleagues’ rich history and expertise in the
social work profession exemplify the meaning of rigorous and
scholarly work as much as they illustrate a commitment to social
justice for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Their timely and
widely relevant contributions are truly well-constructed and will
be most useful for students, practitioners, and educators alike
across a variety of readership populations and diverse
settings.
*Michael Dentato, Loyola University Chicago*
LGBTQ+ people, while increasingly visible in the media, are still a
footnote in academia, especially in clinical training programs
where affirmative theory is named but rarely articulated. Argüello
and contributors have outlined complex and detailed case studies
highlighting the complexity of intersectional affirmative
treatment. These in-depth clinical assessments will help enhance
social work programs and assist students in developing critical and
compassionate affirmative care.
*Arlene Lev, University at Albany, State University of New
York*
This study really provides a more accurate representation of the
rich tapestry of the complexities of queer lives, the challenges we
face, and triumph and resilience. This contributions support the
overall ‘hands on – something to hold on to’ for voyagers that
often find themselves adrift in ‘theoretical, intellectual, and
historical’ queer seas.
*Charlie Pitre Hoy-Ellis, University of Utah*
A fabulous tool for clinical social workers that goes well beyond
basic treatment planning, Queer Social Work will help students and
professionals look at the “big picture” of their clients,
incorporating all aspects of their lives. Crucially, Argüello and
his contributors recognize intersectionality and diversity as
essential elements in treating the client as a whole to create the
best formulation of treatment trajectory.
