Abstract

This article provides an executive summary of the American Psychological Association (APA)- approved Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Sexual Minority Persons (American Psychological Association, APA Task Force on Psychological Practice with Sexual Minority Persons, 2021). These Guidelines were produced at the request of the APA Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity (Division 44) and the APA Committee on Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity (CSOGD) who, in 2018, jointly established a new task force to revise the 2010 Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Clients. This article provides a summary of the conceptual foundations that influenced these Guidelines, as well as an overview of the complete Guidelines.
