  • Psychotherapy by Arlene Istar Lev
    Psychotherapy by Arlene Istar Lev Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Psychotherapy, the clinical process of treating mental and emotional health problems, has recently been energized by a movement to depathologize homosexuality and to enhance the dignity and self-respect of glbtq clients. Psychotherapy is the clinical process of treating mental and emotional health problems by utilizing numerous and diverse psychological techniques and approaches. The practice of psychotherapy is a dialogic process between a client, i.e., the person seeking assistance for problems, and the psychotherapist, who is a trained helping professional, whose explicit intention is to improve the mental health and social functioning of the client who is seeking treatment. Clients are sometimes referred to as patients or consumers, and psychotherapists are often simply called therapists. General Psychotherapy Concepts Psychotherapy is a general term and can be used by anyone involved in therapeutic helping relationships, although it most commonly refers to professionally trained and licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. Additionally, other types of counselors and helping professionals, including nurses and educators, are often referred to as psychotherapists. Counseling, a term often used synonymously with psychotherapy, refers to a less intensive helping relationship, whereby the counselor offers advice in very specialized areas (e. g., career counseling). The practice of psychotherapy usually entails a long-term, in-depth dialogue, involving therapeutic transference and the revelation of unconscious material. The process of psychotherapy depends on the compassionate therapeutic rapport between the therapist and client, and is therefore best practiced by a professional with training and skill who adheres to ethical guidelines for client confidentiality.

  • Transgender Emergence: a Family Affair
    Transgender Emergence: A Family Affair By Arlene (Ari) Istar Lev, State University New York at Albany, New York1 Gender variant experience is not simply an internal psychological process that needs to be navigated by transgender and transsexual people, but it is also a relational and systemic dynamic that intimately involves family, friends, loved ones, and all social relationships. Family members have been viewed as extraneous to the process of evaluation and treatment. The literature offers very little hope that marriage or partnership to a gender variant person could be emotionally fulfilling, or that marriages and families can mature through gender transitions. Gender variant people are embedded in a complex matrix of familial and societal relations and their unique relationship to their sex and gender identities impact family members in numerous ways. Parents struggle to understand the issues facing gender variant children and youth, and children often need to address the concerns of parents who are facing gender transitions. Spouses of transgender and transsexual people — husbands, wives, partners, and lovers—are often thrown into emotional chaos following the disclosure of a desire to transition; this is equally true for gay, lesbian, and bisexual spouses as it is for heterosexuals. Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, adult children, and grandparents, all struggle with trying to make sense of and come to terms with transgender identity and/or transsexual sex changes in their loved ones. Until very recently family members have managed these emotional upheavals in their family life- cycle with little actual "help" from helping professions. Unlike LGB people, transgender people cannot "come-out" (to themselves) and remain closeted if they are to actualize themselves.

    Arlene Istar Lev C.S.W.-R., C.A.S.A.C. Choices Counseling and Consulting 321 Washington Avenue Albany, New York 12206 518-463-9152 <[email protected]> http://www.choicesconsulting.com Sexual and Gender Identity Sexual identity is an overall term that describes a biopsychosocial integration of biological sex, gender identity, gender role expression and sexual orientation (Coleman, 1987; Money & Tucker, 1975; Shively & De Cecco, 1993), although it is sometimes used as a narrower definition to only refer to sexual orientation or preference. The first component of human identity is biological sex. Everyone is assigned a biological sex at birth based on an examination of the visible genitalia. The presence or absence of the phallus is the first, the most salient and often the only variable that determines whether one is a boy or a girl. Biological sex is actually a complex relationship of genetic, hormonal, morphological, chromosomal, gonadal, biochemical, and anatomical determinates that impact the physiology of the body and the sexual differentiation of the brain (Money, 1995; Wilson & Reiner, 1999). The biological differences between males and females develop at about 6 weeks into gestation, and before this stage male and female (XY and XX) appear the same, although genetic or chromosomal sexual differences are established at conception. The primitive duct systems are identical until the presence of male hormones triggers the development of male gonads, the differentiation of the duct systems, and the formation of external genitalia. Without the presence of male hormones, the fetus develops female gonads, which has led scientists to label the female development process a “default” system.

    Interpersonal Practice with Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgendered People Social Work Course #707, Section 1: Fall 2010 Fridays 2:00 – 5:00 Instructor: Laura L. Sanders, LMSW, ACSW Phone: 734-662-3509 Email Address: [email protected] Office in the SSWB is 2760 Classroom: 2816 SSWB Course Description: This course will address issues of concern to interpersonal practice clients that identify as Transgendered, Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Questioning, or Non Straight (TLBGQNS). This course will build on basic IP skills and knowledge of, primarily, individual therapy. Issues which are of greater concern, or for which services and in some cases, knowledge are lacking for these groups will be reviewed. For example, these issues will include: the development of sexual identity, coming out, social stigma, substance abuse, HIV and AIDS, the interaction of discrimination due to gender and/or ethnicity with the discrimination due to sexual orientation, violence within relationships and violence against these groups, discrimination on the basis of orientation, suicide, family development and parenting, passing and community interaction, and policy. This course will closely focus on skills needed for working with these specific issues. Course Content: The content of this course will include basic statistics and current knowledge about how each of the issues above, as well as others, are of special concern to TLBGQNS clients. Issues of the processes of treatment will be reviewed in light of the information covered. For example, an assessment will be different when personal pronouns are changed in questions and the information presented in this course is used. Knowledge of the coming out process will lead a clinician assessing a suicidal adolescent to understand that the issue of sexual identity must be discussed as a possible exacerbating factor.
