Abstract
Today’s lesbian elders have lived through an amazing change in their legal and social status. In the course of their lifetime, lesbians have gone from being classified as criminals suffering from a serious mental illness to citizens with rights, in some states, full civil rights. Although the change is undeniably positive, there are traces from the past that may interfere with positive aging for this group. This article reviews some of the relevant issues and provides suggestions for therapists working with lesbian elders.
