心理学研究表明，公开的异性恋对女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和同性恋者(LGBQ)客户以及心理治疗关系都有不利影响。然而，微妙形式的歧视，特别是性取向微侵犯对LGBQ客户和治疗关系的影响尚未得到解决。本研究采用质的研究方法，对16名自认LGBQ心理治疗对象的性取向微攻击现象进行了研究。这项研究的结果支持治疗环境中存在性取向微攻击，并描述了7个性取向微攻击主题、微攻击沟通渠道以及微攻击对治疗和受试者的影响。
Psychological research has shown the detrimental effects that overt heterosexism have on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) clients and on the psychotherapeutic relationship. However, the effects of subtle forms of discrimination, specifically sexual orientation microaggressions, have on LGBQ clients and the therapeutic relationship have not been addressed. This study used qualitative methodology to explore the phenomenon of sexual orientation microaggressions with 16 self-identified LGBQ psychotherapy clients. Results of this study support the existence of sexual orientation microaggressions within the therapeutic environment and provide a descriptive account of 7 sexual orientation microaggression themes, channels of microaggression communication, and the impact microaggressions have on therapy and clients.
