This course will focus on discussions surrounding sexuality and gender diversity and how these issues and ideas intersect with current psychological literature and practice. Students will study the history of psychology, stigma and discrimination in mental health, identity development, protective factors and resilience. Treatment modalities and best practices will be explored throughout, as students critically examine how these factors shape the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ people, as well the intersectionality of other identities such as race, religion and age.
