Cool Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/DRM-free) Amar A Alguien Gay [Spanish LGBT Support Advice]

Amar A Alguien Gay by clinical psychologist Don Clark, PhD (Wikipedia), is the Spanish-language translation by Ralph Seligman of his seminal bestselling Loving Someone Gay friends & family advice guide (now in its 5th edition), which has apparently provided solid advice throughout the decades to persons wishing to support LGBT loved ones in their lives, free courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Lethe Press.

We've previously received the author's memoir, which covers his own personal life experiences, some of which eventually led to the writing of the original English version of this book, as well describing the impact of its reception, as a freebie: Someone Gay: Memoirs

Currently free @ Smashwords (DRM-free choice of formats available worldwide), and thence price-matched at B&N, Amazon (not available to Canadians, but might get matched eventually), iTunes (available to Canadians), and possibly other venues which carry it.

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because it's always nifty to receive official multilingual freebies, and one that translates a groundbreaking work in a field is doubly welcome, and this particular one is very apropos to close out LGBT Pride Month.

Enjoy!

Description
Por más de tres décadas, el psicólogo clínico, Don Clark, ha estado hablando a los corazones y mentes de la gente gay, sus familias, amigos, maestros, y ayudantes en las múltiples ediciones de Loving Someone Gay (Amar A Alguien Gay). Con compasión él ha promovido la comunicación a través de generaciones, revelando un camino hacia el entendimiento y reconciliación para padres, hermanos, esposos y esposas—al igual que para líderes religiosos, maestros, bibliotecarios, legisladores, jueces, y agencias que imponen la ley. De mayor importancia, el provee una visión vital dentro de las psicodinámicas y la sociología de los hombres gay y lesbianas que frecuentemente son malentendidos y abusados, a veces por sí mismos. Leyendo su explicación de la “homofobia internalizada” es una experiencia de sanación.

Él ha dicho, “En éste tiempo de malentendido global en que vemos viejos hábitos de prejuicio e intolerancia siendo finalmente cuestionados, el mundo clama por la comunicación y empatía. Ha llegado la hora para que cada persona que piensa que es racional que ofrezca una mano de ayuda a una hermana o hermano gay, aquí o allá, conocido o desconocido. Las reglas y papeles sociales que antes no se cuestionaban están cambiando. Ninguna persona está libre a atreverse a ser exactamente quien ella o él es hasta que esa persona esté dispuesta a ofrecer entendimiento, respeto y afecto a la persona gay que añora solamente tener la misma libertad.”

Con ésta más reciente edición actualizada de su famoso libro, Don Clark ilumina una luz clara a nuestro futuro en el siglo veintiuno.
