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:

  • 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
