“…Consequently, the reader is referred to one of the several identity development models (e.g., Coleman, Troiden, Cass) reviewed by Levine and Evans (1991). Couples and family issues are also areas of knowledge in which practitioners should be well versed (Bridges & Croteau, 1994;Browning et al, 1998;Friedman, 1991;Kirkpatrick, 1991;Shannon & Woods, 1998). MCT, in general, often involves didactic teaching about MC counseling or a certain cultural group and tends to focus on merely increasing student knowl-edge.…”

Whereas multicultural advances in the area of gay, lesbian, and bisexual issues have been made for increased knowledge and awareness, little development has been made regarding counselor skill building. This article outlines a model of training using role-playing to enhance counselor skill when working with gay male, lesbian, and bisexual male and female clients.Mientras que avances rnulticulturales en el carnpo de cuestiones hornosexuales, lesbianas y bisexuales han resultado en un aurnento en el conocirniento y la conciencia, poco desarrollo ha resultado en cuanto a la habilitacion de consejeros. Este articulo traza las lineas generales de un modelo de entrenarniento que utiliza el juego de roles para mejorar las tacticas del consejero cuando trabaja con clientes homosexuales, lesbianas, y bisexuales. s the twenty-first century becomes well established, the importance of multicultural (MC) counseling has also been well established; how-A ever, the importance of MC training (MCT) has fallen behind. A number of different racial and cultural groups are now recognized as having unique counseling needs (Langman, 1995;Pedersen, 1988;Pope, 1995). A number of researchers have defined cultural identity as including demographic variables such as religion, gender, physical ability, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation as well as ethnographic variables like racial/ethnic identity (Pedersen, 1999). We also support a broad definition of MC counseling, specifically one that includes issues relevant to sexual orientation. This article focuses on gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) MCT issues for counselors and the methods used to help increase MC counseling competency. Although scholarly work is needed regarding transgendered individuals, this article focuses on GLB training issues because of space limitations. The concept of MC competency was first proposed by and continues to be written about by S.

“…Historically, it was suggested that such relationships were dysfunctional due to 'fusion' or 'merger', in which relationships are characterised by closeness at the expense of individuality (e.g. see Burch, 1982;Kirkpatrick, 1991). However, since the late 1990s this reading of female same-gender relationships has been heavily critiqued.…”

“…Krestan and Bepko (1980) suggest that, to compensate for these factors and protect themselves from unwelcome intrusions across the couple boundaries, the couple may overly "fuse" or "merge." Furthermore, internalized homophobia can become exacerbated in such a situation as a result of social isolation (Kirkpatrick, 1991), which in turn can increase feelings of self-hatred.…”
