女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和变性者(LGBT)在北美和全世界继续遭受各种形式的压迫和歧视,尽管已经发起了社会、法律和政治进步,试图赋予LGBT者基本人权。尽管LGBT人群和社区自20世纪初以来一直积极参与社区组织和社会行动努力,但在明确侧重于社区研究和行动的心理学领域--社区心理学--中,对LGBT问题的研究在很大程度上是明显缺乏的。回顾了压迫、拒绝、歧视、骚扰和暴力对LGBT人群的心理和社会影响,并详细介绍了LGBT健康、公共政策和研究领域的最新进展。强调了社区心理学领域在LGBT研究和行动方面的最新进展,并呼吁采取行动,将LGBT社区内的知识和技能与社区心理学的干预、预防和社会变化模型结合起来,以便为LGBT人群和社区建立更好的理论和干预。
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) people continue to experience various forms of oppression and discrimination in North America and throughout the world, despite the social, legal, and political advances that have been launched in an attempt to grant LGBT people basic human rights. Even though LGBT people and communities have been actively engaged in community organizing and social action efforts since the early twentieth century, research on LGBT issues has been, for the most part, conspicuously absent within the very field of psychology that is explicitly focused on community research and action - Community Psychology. The psychological and social impact of oppression, rejection, discrimination, harassment, and violence on LGBT people is reviewed, and recent advances in the areas of LGBT health, public policy, and research are detailed. Recent advances within the field of Community Psychology with regard to LGBT research and action are highlighted, and a call to action is offered to integrate the knowledge and skills within LGBT communities with Community Psychology's models of intervention, prevention, and social change in order to build better theory and intervention for LGBT people and communities.
