EMPOWERING THE TRIBE ~ A Positive Guide to Gay and Lesbian Self-Esteem by Dr. Richard L. Pimental-Habib, Ph.D., (Kensington Publishing, 1999) is written for gay men, lesbians, their friends and families … really for anyone who is gay, might be gay, or who counts a gay person among his/her loved ones. From the anxiety of coming out to self-acceptance and dealing with the stigma of AIDS, there is a vital need in our society for gay men and women to recover their self-esteem. Whether for yourself, your parents, your child, or for someone close to you, here are healing solutions for dealing with every aspect of being gay and lesbian, including:

  • Coping with the roots of homophobia and low self-esteem
  • Self-acceptance and the narcissistic gay subculture
  • Childhood conditioning, gay/lesbian adolescence, and family approval
  • Breaking destructive relationship patterns
  • The conflicts of religious beliefs
  • Addiction, domestic violence, and recovery
  • Love, loss, and grieving in the shadow of AIDS
  • The responsibilities of gay/lesbian parents – and the parents of gays/lesbians
