It would be good for practners who need practil suggtns and would be an appropriate reference for stunts wantg more pth than most multicultural urs on issu related to gay men and lbians. Although a person’s sexual or romantic orientatn or genr inty may not be a source of distrs, people who intify as lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, queer, qutng, asexual, or any other orientatn or genr inty may fd that the social stigma of livg as a mory is a source of strs or anxiety. Acrdg to a 2007 survey, stunts who intified as lbian, gay, bisexual, or transgenr were almost ten tim as likely to have experienced bullyg and victimizatn at school and more than twice as likely to have nsired suici as their heterosexual, non-transgenr classmat wh the prev year.

Early edns of the Diagnostic and Statistil Manual (DSM) intified homosexualy as a mental disorr, until clil rearch monstrated sexual or romantic attractn to someone of the same genr is a normal, healthy, posive form of human sexualy.

As the work proceeds, is revealed that John is out to his fay (who accepts him entirely) and publicly, while Paolo do not want his fay to know he is gay. In 1984, a task force of the Amerin Psychologil Associatn (APA) Commtee on Lbian and Gay Concerns was charged wh vtigatg bias psychotherapy wh lbians and gay men.

In 1975, the Amerin Psychologil Associatn (APA) took a strong stance regardg bias toward lbians and gay men, rolvg that "homosexualy per se impli no impairment judgment, reliabily or general social and votnal abili" (see Appendix A for the full text of the rolutn).

Although the task force cid to approach issu of sexual orientatn as a generic tegory, there are doubtls many ways which the genr of a gay male or lbian client and the genr of the therapist may be to affect the psychotherapy experience.

A full exploratn of this plex issue would require a reful parison of the therapy experienc of lbians vers gay men wh male vers female therapists, an unrtakg beyond the spe of this article. Rponnts were asked whether they knew of Aany specific experienc of lbian or gay clients psychotherapy om iends or lleagu, om their own profsnal practice, or om their own experienc as a client psychotherapy. To obta a large and diverse sample of cril cints volvg both lbian and gay male clients psychotherapy, we soliced opns om a broad group of psychologists.

The goal was to clu psychologists who, regardls of their own sexual orientatn, would be likely to have knowledge of the provisn of psychotheraptic servic to gay male and lbian clients, as well as gay male and lbian psychologists who may themselv have received psychotheraptic servic.

To ensure a rponse rate aquate for analysis, we ed 1986 APA membership rolls to survey all members, fellows, and associat of Divisns 44 (Society for the Psychologil Study of Gay and Lbian Issu) and 35 (Psychology of Women), and a random sample of 4, 000 licensed members of APA (balanced by genr) who were not members of eher of those divisns. Nearly all of the psychotherapy provirs (99%), regardls of sexual orientatn, reported that they had seen at least one gay male or lbian client psychotherapy at some pot durg their reers. Among lbians and gay male practners, 71% specialized treatg homosexual clients, pared wh 42% of the bisexual provirs and only 9% of the heterosexual provirs.

Task force members nsolidated the rults om the four separate work groups and anized all materials to three broad tegori: strategi of terventn, issu of special relevance to lbian and gay male populatns, and issu about therapists' expertise and trag. In some stanc, the biased and beneficial them reprent oppose sis of the same issueCfor example, ntrastg a therapist's lack of knowledge about social prejudice agast gay men and lbians wh a therapist's special sensivy to social prejudice. A therapist fails to regnize that a client's psychologil symptoms or distrs n be fluenced by the client's own negative attus or ias about homosexualy:.

Therapists' outright nial that a client has experienced societal homophobia or therapists' failure to regnize ternalized homophobia as a source of prsn and low self-teem. I have seen several gay patients and each se the person reported that even though their prev therapist said that he or she accepted their homosexualy; the therapist ntued to foc upon their beg gay as the problem rather than upon what the person sought help for such as relatnship problems, trouble handlg guilt about wh fay or work, general social anxiety, or other problems totally unrelated to beg gay.

A therapist disurag a client om havg or adoptg a lbian or gay orientatn, mak the renunciatn of one's homosexualy a ndn of treatment, or the absence of a requt by the client seeks to change the sexual orientatn of the client:.

A therapist kept sistg that a client had latent heterosexual orientatn which should be brought out stead of acceptg the client's stated preference for homosexual relatns. Upon disclosure of homosexualy, a therapist abptly transfers a client whout provisn of appropriate referrals to the client or assistance wh the emotnal difficulti associated wh the transfer:.

A therapist lacks unrstandg of the nature of lbian and gay male inty velopment, for example by nsirg a gay male or lbian inty possible only for adults, by viewg lbian or gay male inty solely terms of sexual behavr, or by terpretg a client's gay male or lbian inty as a Aphase that will be outgrown:. A therapist do not sufficiently take to acunt the extent to which lbian or gay male inty velopment is plited by the client's own negative attus toward homosexualy:. A therapist unrtimat the possible nsequenc of a gay male or lbian client's disclosure of his or her homosexualy to others, for example to relativ or employers:.

A lbian iend told me about a male therapist who tried to nvce a young gay man (18-20) to e out to his parents--even though his parents were likely to be abive. A therapist unrtimat the importance of timate relatnships for gay men and lbians, for example by failg to support the matenance of or enuragg dissolutn of a client's relatnship solely bee is a homosexual relatnship, or by failg to provi or remend upl or fay therapy when would be the most appropriate terventn:. A gay male uple seekg assistance wh hibed sexual sire on the part of one told the problem dited the one partner probably really wasn't gay and that the remend terventn was to break up their relatnship.
