Title
The Role of Religion and Spirituality in Counseling the LGBTQI+ Client
Abstract
When religion or spirituality is present, it likely impacts the needs a LGBTQI+ person may bring to counseling. First, the LGBTQI+ person's identity development is likely altered in significant ways, either positively or negatively. Research on this topic is reviewed and the FAITH model for working with LGBTQI+ clients struggling with their faith is presented. Ethical issues arising between disaffirming religious beliefs and counseling LGBTQI+ clients are also reviewed. Authors review affirming and semi-affirming religious organizations within the United States. Additional counseling issues are also explored. © 2017 by the American Counseling Association.
