LGBT Programming at ICAP 2010
The International Network is working to facilitate a program of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and gender identity related presentations at the International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP) 2010, July 11-16, 2010, in Melbourne, Australia. Please see the call brochure.
The International Network on Lesbian, Gay, & Bisexual Concerns &
 Transgender Issues in Psychology (International Network) is composed of national, multinational, and international psychological associations that are cooperating to achieve the following aims:
- To increase cross-cultural collaboration among psychological researchers and practitioners who are concerned about the mental health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations;
- To increase knowledge among psychologists and other mental health practitioners about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations;
- To apply psychological research and mental health practice guidelines that address the needs and concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations to international health policy;
- To increase the number of national, multinational, and international psychological associations that formally reject the mental disorder conception of homosexuality and that promote mental health practice that is affirmative of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.
These aims reflect the goals and recommendations in the final report of the international meeting Sexual Orientation and Mental Health: Toward Global Perspectives on Practice and Policy, which met in San Francisco in the year 2001 and was sponsored by several national and international psychological associations.(PDF, 881K)
