Queer Ear for the Straight Therapist:
The Essentials for Gay Affirmative Psychotherapy
Joe Kort, MA, MSW

Growing up gay can cause developmental injuries around identity, competency, intimacy and sexuality that can lead to adult relational disorders and other mental health problems. A therapist that does not know much about this terrain can sometimes make a frustrating situation even worse. This workshop prepares clinicians to address these and other issues such as internalized heterosexism and homophobia and presents an effective, psychodynamic approach which affirms gay/lesbian identity and sexuality.
