Lesbian relationships are most importantly relationships between two women in a homophobic and sexist society. Women newly exploring a relationship with another woman often experience their relationship as unique, as being the best relationship. They base this evaluation on the honest communication and open expression of caring that usually characterize the relationship. These qualities provide the basis for a fulfilling relationship which fosters personal growth and change. Major stresses and problem areas are due both to social pressures and to difficulties in establishing a sense of self within the relationship. This article explores the unique aspects of the lesbian relationship, suggests appropriate therapeutic interventions, and explores counter-transference issues for lesbian and heterosexual therapists
