在过去的二十年里，有一小部分文献讨论了女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者（LGBT）样本的心理治疗。越来越多的心理治疗研究也对老年人进行了调查。然而，专门针对LGBT老年人的心理治疗尚未得到充分的调查。这篇综述依赖于研究的融合线，以提供循证心理治疗（EBT）与老年学领域当前研究和临床观察的综合讨论，并提出了这些主题可以为LGBT老年人提供心理治疗实践的方法。我们总结了当前对老龄化的研究，在几个领域的实际利益，心理治疗师寻求应用EBT在他们的工作与LGBT老年人。这些领域包括：成人发展，应对，污名化，社会背景，以及队列成员的影响。这些研究的结果掩盖了关于衰老过程的刻板印象，一般来说，更具体地说，LGBT老年人，对心理治疗的实践具有重要意义。EBT适用于LGBT老年人在晚年生活中遇到的各种问题，这些对治疗技术的修改贯穿始终。
A small literature has addressed psychotherapy with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) samples over the past two decades. Older adults have also been investigated in a growing number of psychotherapy research studies. However, psychotherapy specifically with LGBT older adults has not received adequate investigation. This review relies on converging lines of research to provide an integrated discussion of evidence-based psychological treatments (EBTs) with current research and clinical observations in the field of gerontology and suggests ways in which these topics can inform psychotherapy practice with LGBT older adults. We summarize current research on aging in several areas of practical interest to psychotherapists seeking to apply EBTs in their work with LGBT older adults. These areas include: adult development, coping, stigmatization, social context, and the effects of cohort membership. The results of these studies belie stereotypes regarding both the aging process, in general, and more specifically LGBT older adulthood, with significant implications for the practice of psychotherapy. EBTs are adaptable to a variety of issues encountered in later life by LGBT older adults, and these modifications to therapeutic technique are addressed throughout.
