This article presents the case of a Chinese-American adolescent with a significant trauma history who was questioning her sexual and gender identities. The implications of the client's intersecting identities for case conceptualization and treatment are considered within the framework of affirmative practices for sexual and gender minority (SGM) clients. The impacts of stress and trauma on this client's experiences-and SGM clients more broadly-are also considered, particularly with respect to how this client understood and negotiated her experiences of relational trauma. This case is intended to illustrate some best practices with SGM clients within an intersectional framework which underscores the importance of multiple salient cultural identities.
本文介绍了一名有重大创伤史的华裔美国青少年的案例,她对自己的性取向和性别认同产生了疑问。在为性取向和性别少数群体(SGM)客户提供肯定性服务的框架内,考虑了客户交叉身份对案例概念化和治疗的影响。还考虑了压力和创伤对该客户经历的影响,以及更广泛地对SGM客户的影响,特别是关于该客户如何理解和应对她的关系性创伤经历。本案例旨在说明在一个强调多种显著文化身份重要性的交叉框架内,与SGM客户合作的一些最佳实践。
