This workshop will address the need for culturally competent and LGBT affirmative psychotherapy and counseling by exploring the pertinent aspects of lesbians, gay men and bisexual men and women as a culturally diverse and heterogeneous group. Lesbians and gay men are represented in all other cultural groups and their lives are lived in the context of an environment that is replete with racism, sexism, homophobia, abilism and classism. Countertransference issues for therapists working with LGBT clients will be explored with the hope of better understanding its destructive effects. The workshop will also explore the issues that may arise in practice with LGBT people in the current climate of hostility surrounding the political debates regarding same sex marriage. The heterogeneity and multiplicity of identity of Lesbians and Gay men will be emphasized as the workshop examines the challenges that confront group members as well as conceptual paradigms and psychotherapeutic techniques that can be used to address psychological distress.
Goals/Objectives:
- Participants will be able to identify common referral issues for LGBT men and women as well as the issues that arise for individuals who have multiple stigmatized identities.
- Participants will be able to identify significant psychological challenges to optimal functioning and common developmental events in the lives of LGBT individuals, couples and families.
- Participants will be able to identify pathways of homophobia and heterosexism in both the dominant culture as well as among ethnic minority groups and the sequlae for Lesbian, gay and bisexual men and women of color. It will also explore manifestations of heterosexism in mental health and the effects of all of these phenomena on LGBT individuals.
- Participants will become familiar with some of the skills required to address routine issues that arise in the treatment of group members.
