LGBTQ+ individuals are at increased risk of suicide. Homelessness further increases the risk, as does family-of-origin rejection. A model that combines suicidal risk factors and minority stress theory is useful in clinical practice. An openness to "hearing" the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals is essential to treatment. An LGBTQ+ affirming therapeutic approach is recommended. It is also frequently helpful to rebuild family relationships and support for the LGBTQ+ individual, particularly with younger youth. Principles of practice are described and illustrated.
LGBTQ+群体自杀风险更高。无家可归会进一步增加这种风险,原生家庭的排斥也会如此。一种将自杀风险因素与少数群体压力理论相结合的模型在临床实践中很有用。愿意“倾听”LGBTQ+群体的生活经历对于治疗至关重要。建议采用肯定LGBTQ+群体的治疗方法。重建LGBTQ+群体的家庭关系并给予支持也常常很有帮助,尤其是对于年轻群体。文中描述并举例说明了实践原则。
