| 요약 | Literature on the practice of affirmative psychotherapy with sexual minority (SM) clients has steadily increased over the past two decades in recognition of the unique experiences and mental health needs of this marginalized population. SM-affirmative psychotherapy is an approach to psychotherapy that is culturally-responsive, actively affirms the validity of SM identities and experiences, and promotes the resilience of SM clients in the face of stigma. To date, much of the extant research on SM-affirmative psychotherapy has focused on therapist factors and perspectives. Further, most previous research on SM clients' experiences in therapy has been qualitative, due in part to the lack of self-report measures to assess these clients' perspectives in group designs. To fill this gap, the current research involved developing a new instrument to fill this gap, the Sexual Minority Affirmative Practice Scale (SMAPS), which measures the extent to which SM clients view their therapists as engaging in SM-affirming practices. In Study 1, a content review panel of 32 SM-identified adults with recent psychotherapy experience reviewed a pool of 91 items developed based on the available literature on this topic. Reviewers were asked to rate the extent to which they perceived that each item reflected SM-affirmative practices as well as to provide feedback on item clarity. Based on the reviewers' feedback, 76 items were retained, one item was added, and 15 were deleted. In Study 2, exploratory factor analyses with direct oblimin rotation were conducted to assess the underlying factor structure of the SMAPS items. The derivation sample included 316 SM adults with diverse sexual orientation identities who had recent psychotherapy experience. A two-factor solution, with 51 items, was determined to be the best fit of the data. Scales developed from the two factors, called Harmful Practice and Affirmative Practice, demonstrated strong internal consistency reliabilities, alphas = .98 and .94, respectively. The scales were not significantly correlated, r = -0.076, and mean scores suggested that participants viewed their therapists as generally having engaged in much more SM affirming than non-affirming practices.The theoretical and psychometric contributions of the SMAPS to understanding the unique experiences of SM psychotherapy clients are discussed, along with the suggested use of the measure for clinical practice and in future psychotherapy research. |
