The Lesbian Family Life Cycle

Article Abstract:

Suzanne Slater's book "The Lesbian Family Life Cycle," focuses on the social limitations and needs of lesbian couples using Slater's five-stage model of the lesbian family life cycle. The lesbians are generally prohibited from leading a normal social life. Slater discusses the five stages in the life cycle of lesbian couples including the formation of the couple, the issues of living together, and a stage of generativity when the couples wish to create a legacy. The book is particularly helpful for clinical work with lesbian couples.
