The Invisibility and Marginalization of Bisexual Mental Health

Abstract

The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health (edited by Esther Rothblum) draws from the fields of psychology and public health to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on the mental health experiences of sexual and gender minority individuals. The text covers topics such as the prevalence and etiology of mental health disorders among distinct sexual and gender minority populations, methodological and clinical shortcomings in addressing the mental health needs of individuals from these populations, and suggestions for the amelioration of these shortcomings. The text is partitioned into three sections, each of which is comprised of a collection of literature reviews on specific topical areas within the field of sexual and gender minority mental health. This review focuses on the extent to which the mental health experiences of bisexual individuals have been addressed and incorporated throughout the book.
