Piece Description
Ritch Savin- Williams, Professor of Clinical and Developmental Psychology at Cornell University, discusses his controversal new book The New Gay Teenager. Savin-Williams argues that the standard image of gay youth presented by mental health researchers as depressed, isolated, drug-dependent, even suicidal may have been exaggerated even twenty years ago, and is far from accurate today. The New Gay Teenager gives us a refreshing and frequently controversial introduction to confident, competent, upbeat teenagers with same-sex desires, who worry more about the chemistry test or their curfew than they do about their sexuality.
