This article identifies the quantity and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and asexual (LGBTIA) related journal articles published within the official British Psychological Society (BPS) journals. A systematic search of BPS journals was conducted using the BPS/Wiley search engine PsychSource. The search was conducted on 1 January 2018 and no timeframe was set for the search. Sixty-nine articles were identified across the BPS journals between 1941–2017. Until the end of the 1970s content focused almost exclusively on assessment and treatment of homosexuality (and to a lesser extent transsexuality), and was published primarily in the British Journal of Medical Psychology (n = 20; 1941–2000). From 1980 onwards, the content of articles mainly focused on anti-gay prejudice and have been published primarily in the British Journal of Social Psychology (n = 31; 1986–2017). The findings demonstrate a shift from a medical model of homosexuality prior to the 1980s, to focusing on homophobia as a social psychological problem. The review highlights a paucity of content relating to LGBTIA issues within the 11 official BPS journals. Within four BPS journals no relevant articles were identified. The range of LGBTIA topics published within these journals are also found to be extremely narrow.

Jack Drescher, MD, is an American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst known for his work on the history of theorising about, diagnosing, treating and mistreating sexual minorities. Dr Drescher was a member of the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5 expert working group on Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders, which revised the DSM-IV-TR diagnosis of gender identity disorder to the DSM-5 diagnosis of ‘gender dysphoria’. He was also a member of the World Health Organization expert working group that recommended replacing ICD-10’s gender identity disorder with ‘gender incongruence’, as well as moving the diagnosis out of the mental disorders section of the latest International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Dr Drescher is also an expert on sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) and served on the American Psychological Association’s Task Force on Appropriate Therapeutic Responses to Sexual Orientation. He has published a number of books in the field includingPsychoanalytic Therapy and the Gay Man(Drescher, 1998a) andSexual Conversion Therapy: Ethical, clinical and research perspectives(Shidlo et al., 2001). In February 2020, I interviewed him about his role in the recent ICD-11 revisions and his views on tackling the practice of conversion therapy. What follows is an edited version of our conversation.(Adam Jowett, Chair of the Psychology of Sexualities Section)
Jack Drescher,医学博士,美国精神病学家和精神分析学家,因其对性少数群体的理论化、诊断、治疗和虐待的历史研究而闻名。Drescher博士是美国精神病学协会DSM-5性与性别认同障碍专家工作组的成员,该工作组将DSM-IV-TR对性别认同障碍的诊断修改为DSM-5对“性别不安”的诊断。他还是世界卫生组织专家工作组的成员,该工作组建议用“性别不一致”取代《国际疾病分类》第10版的性别认同障碍,并将这一诊断从最新的《国际疾病分类》(《国际疾病分类》第11版)的精神障碍部分移出。Drescher博士也是性取向改变努力(SOCE)方面的专家,并在美国心理协会的性取向适当治疗反应工作组任职。他在该领域出版了许多书籍,包括《精神分析疗法和同性恋者》(Drescher, 1998)和《性转化疗法:伦理、临床和研究视角》(Shidlo等人,2001)。2020年2月,我采访了他,了解他在最近的ICD-11修订中的作用,以及他对解决转化治疗实践的看法。以下是经过编辑的谈话内容。(Adam Jowett,性心理学组主席)

Asexuality research is an emerging topic and understanding gained through the perspectives of asexuals offer insights into how asexuality is experienced within social contexts. This exploratory study sought to understand the everyday experiences of self-identified asexuals within university contexts, the challenges they face and the ways in which these are understood and navigated. Four participants, attending UK universities, were recruited through lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) Facebook groups. Data was collected through photo-elicitation interviews and analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis, through which three superordinate themes were developed: navigating normative social space, navigating (in)visibility and coming out and creating safer spaces. These, along with their subordinate themes, are outlined and then discussed in relation to existing literature and recommendations for future research are made.

Some members of multiple minority groups experience conflict between their sexual and religious identities which could lead to negative impacts on their wellbeing. The present study aimed to examine the intersection of religion and sexual identity for queer Muslim women. Eight lesbian/bisexual/sexual minority Muslim women were interviewed about their lived experiences using a semi-structured interview. A thematic analysis, informed by internal conflict theory, identified five themes: (i) compartmentalised identities; (ii) religious expectations; (iii) Is being gay a choice? (iv) ‘I am who I am’: acceptance; and (v) authenticity. The results revealed an internal conflict from compartmentalised identities, but acceptance was a dominating theme. It investigates a novel issue and future research is warranted regarding the development of interventions to improve wellbeing for queer Muslim women.
