This paper examines how positive psychology principles can be incorporated into clinical training and practice to work with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) clients. LGBT psychology literature has all too often relied on heterosexual and cisgender reference groups as the norm with respect to psychological health, primarily framing the experiences of LGBT individuals through the lens of psychopathology. As a result, strengths that could be ascribed to the LGBT experience have been overlooked within training and practice. While positive psychology is actively being incorporated into clinical and counseling psychology curricula, broadening the paradigm to include LGBT individuals has generally not been included in the discussion. Specific recommendations for training psychologists to incorporate and foster positive social institutions, positive subjective experiences and character strengths when working with LGBT clients and celebrating their unique experiences are provided.
本文探讨了如何将积极心理学原理融入临床培训和实践中，以帮助女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别（LGBT）客户。LGBT心理学文献常常将异性恋和顺性别参照群体作为心理健康的规范，主要通过精神病理学的视角来构建LGBT个体的经历。因此，LGBT经历中可能具有的优势在培训和实践中被忽视了。虽然积极心理学正被积极纳入临床和咨询心理学课程，但将范式扩展到包括LGBT个体的讨论通常并未包含在内。本文提供了具体建议，指导心理学家在与LGBT客户合作时融入并培养积极的社会机构、积极的主观体验和性格优势，同时颂扬他们独特的经历。
