Health Care Without Shame: A Handbook for the Sexually Diverse and Their Caregivers

Too often, people with alternative sexualities — the gay, lesbian, transgendered, or bisexual; the non-monogamous or kinky — have trouble finding competent, understanding care for their mental and physical health.

Now, Dr. Charles Moser, one of the nation's leading authorities on sexuality-related medicine, has created a comprehensive guidebook for anyone who's ever struggled with the sentence, "Doctor, there's something I have to tell you..."

Dr. Moser explains how and when to come out to your health care provider, how to protect your confidentially, how to handle a health care provider who isn't understanding about your alternative sexuality, how to deal with sex-related emergencies, and more. He also includes detailed information on dealing with other professionals such as therapists, attorneys, and accountants.

Vital information for anyone whose sexuality is non-traditional, and for any health care provider who wants to provide the best possible care for patients of all descriptions.
