This study explored how
negative beliefs toward lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals and LGB
clinical competence influenced family therapists' beliefs and practices
regarding referring based on the sexual orientation of the client. The sample
consisted of 741 experienced clinicians.
The results of this study indicated
that the majority of the participants believe it is ethical to refer LGB
clients; however, most had never made such a referral. Furthermore,
participants who had referred based solely on the client's sexual orientation
reported higher levels of negative beliefs toward LGB individuals and lower
levels of LGB clinical competence. Finally, negative beliefs toward LGB persons
not only predicted the practice of referring, but also the belief that it is
ethical to refer an LGB client.
