SUMMARY The combined effects of heterosexual bias and lack of formal training on lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) issues are hypothesized to manifest inappropriate mental health practitioner behaviors. Research on graduate therapist training and student attitudes has found heterosexual bias and inadequacies in preparation to serve LGB clients. The need for graduate level training of mental health practitioners is apparent. This article reviews recommended training methods for providing training in LGB issues. A psychoeducational model developed to concurrently increase trainee awareness, knowledge, and skills in counseling LGB people is presented. Suggestions for implementation of curricula and strategies for use in addressing heterosexism in the training environment are also provided.
异性恋偏见以及缺乏针对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）问题的正规培训，据推测会导致心理健康从业者出现不恰当的行为。对研究生治疗师培训和学生态度的研究发现了异性恋偏见以及在为LGB客户提供服务方面准备不足的问题。心理健康从业者进行研究生水平培训的必要性显而易见。本文回顾了为提供LGB问题培训而推荐的培训方法。介绍了一种为同时提高学员在为LGB人群提供咨询方面的意识、知识和技能而开发的心理教育模式。还提供了课程实施建议以及在培训环境中应对异性恋主义的策略。
