The end-of-book References section (fully updated for the APA’s new 7th Edition Publication Manual) highlights these recent citations in blue.
Heavily revised coverage of gender identity and sexual orientation. The authors have worked to be appropriately inclusive and fully up-to-date in their presentation of gender and sexual identity, representing the abundance of current research in this area, but also encompassing the lived experiences of many people, which may not yet be well represented in the literature.
