Examining the Utility of Group Counseling for LGBTQ+ Young Adults in the Coming out Process
Ali, Shainna; Lambie, Glenn W.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v44 n1 p46-61 2019
Although the need for counseling specific to LGBTQ+ coming out concerns is recognized, limited empirical evidence exists to substantiate such claims. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between LGBTQ+ young adults' (ages 18-24) group therapeutic factor scores and their levels of coping, appraisal of social support, and coming out growth following their participation in a strength-based group counseling intervention. Significant relationships were identified between the participants' group therapeutic factor score and their adaptive coping and coming out growth scores. Implications for group counseling and counselor education are discussed.
