We conducted a scoping review embedded in a neurodiversity-affirmative approach to provide an understanding of resilience in neurodivergent populations. A total of 176 articles were included in this review and were synthesized using a two-phased process. First, findings were synthesized narratively to examine how resilience has been conceptualized and explored in neurodivergent populations. Second, to identify the bio-psycho-social factors important for resilience in neurodivergent individuals, we converted concepts identified in articles to the nomenclature of the World Health Organizations' International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) using a standardized linking process. We find considerable variability in how resilience is conceptualized and measured in neurodivergent populations. We identified 83 unique ICF categories representing resilience factors, of which only 20 appeared in more than 5% of the articles. Identified ICF categories highlight the importance of support systems such as families and friends, community participation and acceptance, and individual capabilities for resilience.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48458,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Psychology Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272735824001089/pdfft?md5=fd5466f42098a4e24b4a5a5e94f9809f&pid=1-s2.0-S0272735824001089-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142044990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these concerns, a mixed-method systematic review was conducted to evaluate mental health practitioners' attitudes towards and knowledge of LGBTQ+ patients and the impact of these factors on service utilization. Thirty-two relevant empirical qualitative and quantitative studies were retrieved from five databases following PRISMA guidelines, for a total of <em>N</em> = 13,110 mental health practitioners included. The results indicated that mental health practitioners generally hold affirming attitudes towards LGBTQ+ patients. However, significant gaps in practitioners' knowledge and skills emerged, describing feelings of inadequate skill, lack of competence, low clinical preparedness in addressing specific LGBTQ+ needs, insufficient training opportunities, and desire for further education on LGBTQ+ issues. These findings underscore the need to enhance inclusivity and cultural competence at both organizational and educational levels.
