Abstract Gay and lesbian psychotherapists face unique challenges when working with clients who also identify as gay or lesbian. Of particular importance are the roles professional boundaries play in working with sexual minorities. For example, clinicians must decide whether it is in the client's best interests to know the therapist is gay. Issues of contact outside of the therapy hour also become important, particularly when the therapist lives in a small community, or otherwise risks the possibility of seeing the client in the community. This chapter addresses some of these issues, and poses options for therapists on how to minimize professional boundary or ethical violations.

Abstract Oftentimes gays and lesbians enter psychotherapy unclear about the eventual goals they want to attain. Without a clear understanding of what gays and lesbians want out of therapy, both therapist and client can feel at times that the treatment is unfocused and haphazard. The development of realistic treatment plans by private practitioners is also taking on more importance in this era of managed care. When therapists take the time to help clients define the goals they want to achieve by coming to therapy, the treatment feels more focused and effective to all parties. Guidelines for developing treatment plans for gay and lesbian clients are offered.
