Feminist concerns have remained on the periphery of family therapy. Most approaches have not been examined in regard to sexist content and little integration has occurred between family therapy and the feminist perspective. This article reviews and critically examines the family therapy literature on the treatment of the sexual component: relationships, dysfunction and abuse. Implications of some of the current theories in the field are examined. A feminist lens is used to identify sexist content and deficiencies in theory and practice.

Seven hundred and three women ranging from 17 to 84 years and drawn from classrooms, lecture audiences and friendship networks completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding their most important sexual or non-sexual passionate love experiences. Sixty women, ranging from self-defined heterosexual women to self-defined lesbians, reported having felt strong emotional attraction for other women. The data showed a continuum of emotional and sexual inclinations, rather than the generally used heterol homosexual dichotomy, thus validating bisexuality as an authentic separate category. Genuine shifts from a heterosexual to a lesbian love orientation took place in a number of mature women, suggesting that female sexual inclinations may sometimes be more fluid and less basic to female identity than is often assumed.

Abstract Data were gathered concerning use, need for, experience with social services, knowledge of services available, and preference for service provider from 394 gay/lesbian respondents in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as from a sample of agency staff. The majority of gay/lesbian respondents were white, well educated and young. Service need was higher than service use. A wide variety of concerns were identified as areas of service need. Seventy-one percent of respondents felt that there were important difficulties in the use of straight counselors. Fifty percent of the case workers but only one of the seven administrators who returned a completed questionnaire thought that special services were required by the gay/lesbian community. This study documents the need for additional services to the gay/lesbian community in the San Francisco Area and offers directions for selection of service priorities.

Although lesbians and gay men in relationships are part of the client population that social workers serve, the critical dynamic and cultural issues involved in providing optimal help for same-sex couples have received little attention in the profession. The author discusses some of the unique characteristics and special problems of same-sex dyads which must be taken into consideration when theoretical and clinical issues arc combined to form an effective treatment approach. Topics addressed include: How problems in defining boundaries of same-sex couples are intensified by the absence of social "rules" relating to them, the effects of homophobia on issues of oneness and differentiation, and the impact of gender socialization on differences between gay male and lesbian relationships.
