Evidence-based best practices to support practitioners in LGBTQ+ mental health care
This second edition of the LGBTQ+ Psychotherapy Treatment Planner updates and expands upon the first edition to reflect the evolving understanding and best practices in LGBTQ+ mental health care. New chapters, expanded appendices, and the inclusion of detailed objectives and interventions grounded in evidence-based practices have been added to enhance the comprehensiveness and relevance of this resource.
Each chapter is structured to guide clinicians through objectives and interventions appropriate for these various levels, emphasizing a continuum of care approach. Readers will find insights on:
Establishing long-term sobriety while building healthy relationships by cultivating meaningful, sober relationships and social networks that affirm LGBTQ+ identity
Developing long-term coping strategies to counter and overcome discrimination experienced by LGBTQ+ persons seeking approval for and parenting a child
Reducing or eliminating symptoms of psychological distress (e.g., anxiety and hopelessness) related to aging and life transitions
Learning and implementing coping skills that result in a reduction of anxiety and worry, and improved daily functioning
The second edition of the LGBTQ+ Psychotherapy Treatment Planner is an informative, practical, and indispensable guide for clinicians to create thoughtful, comprehensive, culturally responsive, and equity-focused treatment plans
