Evidence-based relationship variables when working with affectional and gender minority clients: A systematic review

This article addresses the challenges of translating the evidence for the effects of the relationship in psychotherapy to work with clients whose intersectional identities are strongly informed by being members of groups marginalized for their sexual or gender orientations. We discuss managing both differences and similarities in the experiences of those offering and those seeking healing, and in particular the ways in which to deepen empathy while not losing clarity of boundaries.
