Abstract
Abstract Increasing visibility of transgender, nonbinary, and gender expansive (TNBGE) people in the United States and in higher education has coincided with a call for more affirming and appropriate mental health services. Group therapy has been connected to positive outcomes for college students, but appears less available to or less popular among TNBGE students. This article will summarize the history of feminist, queer, and trans theories, feminist group therapy, and therapeutic groups for TNBGE people. Recommendations for facilitating TNBGE groups will be presented, drawing from the work of three queer university counseling clinicians with collective experience in facilitating LGBTQ + and exclusively TNBGE groups using queer, trans, and multicultural feminist theories. Considerations for facilitating LGBTQ + groups for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) will also be included, based on relevant literature and clinical experience. Limitations of the authors’ perspectives and recommendations will be outlined, as well as future directions for research and practice.
期刊介绍:
Women & Therapy is the only professional journal that focuses entirely on the complex interrelationship between women and the therapeutic experience. Devoted to descriptive, theoretical, clinical, and empirical perspectives on the topic of women and therapy, the journal is intended for feminist practitioners as well as for individuals interested in the practice of feminist therapy. The journal focuses on a wide range of content areas, including: •issues in the process of therapy with female clients •problems in living that affect women in greater proportion than men, such as depression, eating disorders, and agoraphobia •women"s traditional and nontraditional roles in society and how these affect and can be affected by therapy.
