Clinical psychological research has been a part of a significant growth of scholarly literature in mental health that appropriately explores relevant cultural variables and their effects on both the mental health and treatment of ethnic minority group members. A similar expansion of material seeking to develop affirmative perspectives in the treatment of gay men and lesbians has also found its way into the psychological literature. Scarcely any research seeks to explore the particular psychological strengths and vulnerabilities of men and women who are members of both groups. This article reviews literature pertinent to the cultural proscriptions of several ethnic minority groups and their relevance to mental health issues and treatment of gay and lesbian members, as well as a review of potential countertransference dilemmas for therapists.
临床心理学研究一直是心理健康学术文献显著增长的一部分，这些文献恰当地探讨了相关文化变量及其对少数族裔群体成员心理健康和治疗的影响。同样，旨在发展对男同性恋者和女同性恋者治疗的肯定性观点的材料也在心理学文献中有所增加。几乎没有任何研究试图探讨同时属于这两个群体的男性和女性所特有的心理优势和弱点。本文回顾了与几个少数族裔群体的文化禁忌及其与心理健康问题以及男同性恋者和女同性恋者治疗的相关性相关的文献，同时也回顾了治疗师潜在的反移情困境。
