Career Counseling For Gays And Lesbians

Abstract: This 8 page paper offers a synopsis of five articles that focus, in some way, on career counseling or career development of gays and lesbians. The first article reports some of the many guidelines from the American Psychological Association for counselors working with gays, lesbians and bisexuals. The next one focuses on gay men although there are comments about lesbians. This article discusses the need to have special programs for counseling gay men in the workplace. The third discussion is about a book for career counselors in which challenges and barriers as well as helpful suggestions are provided. Next, is an article about the paucity of research studies of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students on the college campus and the reasons for this dearth of studies. The last article talks about career counseling for adolescents and the special problems this group faces. The articles are compared. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
