Abstract

Individuals who experience sexual identity confusion and/or conflict face unique stressors and life circumstances for which they may seek psychotherapy; however, little specific guidance exists for therapists working with clients who experience sexual identity confusion and/or conflict. To meet this need, we present a framework for therapists whose clients experience distress related to sexual identity confusion and/or conflict. We first define and describe sexual identity confusion and conflict, situating both in developmental theories of sexual identity. We then review clinical approaches that have been used historically to inform treatment with clients experiencing sexual identity confusion and/or conflict. Next, we discuss guiding ethical and clinical principles to inform such a clinical approach. Then, we provide assessment and treatment recommendations. We conclude by discussing considerations for working with clients who are diverse in gender identity, race/ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation.

第一，不伤害:照顾有性别认同困惑和/或冲突的客户的原则。

经历过性身份困惑和/或冲突的个体面临着独特的压力源和生活环境，他们可能会寻求心理治疗;然而，对于那些经历过性身份困惑和/或性冲突的治疗师来说，很少有具体的指导。为了满足这一需求，我们为那些来访者因性别身份困惑和/或冲突而经历痛苦的治疗师提供了一个框架。我们首先定义和描述性别认同的困惑和冲突，这两者都处于性别认同的发展理论中。然后，我们回顾了历史上使用的临床方法，以告知治疗经历性别认同困惑和/或冲突的客户。接下来，我们讨论指导伦理和临床原则，以告知这种临床方法。然后，我们提供评估和治疗建议。最后，我们讨论了在与性别认同、种族/民族、年龄、性取向和宗教信仰不同的客户合作时应考虑的因素。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA，版权所有)。
