Social Dynamics and Lesbian Identity

This book explores the experiences of lesbians within the social context of Malaysian society through the perspectives of social work, social psychology, and community well-being. The discussion focuses on how family, friends, partners, community, culture, and social pressure influence identity formation, relationships, inner conflict, and psychosocial well-being.
With a neutral, culturally sensitive, and knowledge-based approach, this book helps readers understand the issue of sexuality as a complex social experience, not merely a personal matter. It is also suitable as a reference for students, lecturers, researchers, social workers, counsellors, community workers and volunteers, as well as those involved in social services.
