Treating Sexual-Minority College Students after Nonconsensual-Sexual-Contact Victimization: An Informational Resource Guide to Culturally-Competent Therapy for College Counselors
Carmichael, Sean David
ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, William James College
This demonstration project describes the construction and critique of a proposed informational resource guide for college counselors. If published and distributed, it would ostensibly function as a supplemental training manual, reference tool, and guide to online resources. The goal is to help college counselors engage in more culturally-competent therapy with sexual-minority college students who have experienced nonconsensual sexual contact victimization (NCSCV). This article contains a review of literature related to the sexual victimization of sexual-minority college students and how to engage in more culturally-competent therapy with members of this at-risk group. It includes a summary of research related to factors that may moderate: the risk of sexual victimization and re-victimization; the type and severity of impact; the likelihood of disclosure and engagement in help-seeking behaviors, as well as the risk and impact of institutional betrayal and other forms of secondary harm. A summary of psychological theories and therapeutic interventions likely to be appropriate and effective are also provided. The article concludes with a summary and discussion of critical feedback solicited from a psychologist with knowledge and expertise related to the topic.
