Group Counseling for Sexual Minority Youth.
Lynne E. Muller,Joyce Hartman +1 more
Abstract: School counselors who work with adolescent populations work with a silent minority of gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth. Because of this silence, counselors often assume that all students are heterosexual. This faulty belief sets up barriers to self-disclosure and support for sexual minority youth (Morrow, 1993). In a study of 46 homosexual adolescents, only 15% stated they believed that school counselors would be helpful; 43% stated they believed school counselors would actually be unhelpful (Mercier & Berger, 1989). Group counseling may be the best way to break through this barrier. This article reviews the issues facing sexual minority youth by presenting a model for counseling in the schools. This gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth counseling group was conducted at a public high school in Maryland. THE NEED FOR GROUP COUNSELING In spite of their large numbers-estimated to be at 10% of the general population-and their high risk for early death and isolation, few groups of young people have been so ignored as sexual minority youth (Deisher,1989). Struggling to accept and integrate their sexual identity into their lives, gay students are more likely than other youth to attempt suicide, to abuse drugs and alcohol, to contract sexually transmitted diseases, to run away, and to experience family conflict and academic problems (Hetrick & Martin,1987; Robinson, 1994; Sears, 1991; Teague, 1992). The certainty of ridicule, coupled with fear of attack, makes school a fearful place for these teens, resulting in frequent absences and academic failure (Gibson,1989). COUNSELING ISSUES Homophobia in the Schools Homophobia, defined as the fear or hatred of lesbians and gay men, is so interwoven in our society and in our schools that homosexual adolescents face especially difficult struggles for self-esteem, emotional security, and a sense of caring community (Whitlock, 1989;Teague, 1992). Even wellmeaning, supportive persons may be unaware of their homophobic beliefs and practices. Solely due to their sexual orientation, 45 % of gay male teens and 20 % of lesbian teens report that they have experienced verbal and physical assaults in high school (Gibson, 1986; Hetrick & Martin, 1987; Kourany, 1987; Portner, 1994 ). Twentyeight percent of gay male youth drop out of school and abandon their educational and career goals because of the discomfort they experience in school (Gibson, 1986; Portner, 1994; Sears,1991 ;Teague,1992). Faced with homophobia and racism, minority gay youth experience a double dose of severe social and cultural oppression (Gover,1993;Loicano,1989). Loneliness and Isolation Sexual minority youth often find themselves alienated, alone, and withdrawn. They are outsiders in their school and home communities at a time in their lives when social connections are vital for healthy development. In their isolation, gay youth suffer the effects of low self-esteem, identity conflicts, and guilt (Gibson, 1986; Morrow, 1993; Teague, 1992). When homosexual adolescents can't turn to their parents or community institutions for validation or support, the results are devastating. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual adolescents often isolate themselves because of a realistic fear of rejection and harm.They struggle to adjust to a socially stigmatized role. Identity Issues According to Erikson (1963), the major task of adolescence is identity formation. To be successful in mastering this task, teens need peer group acceptance and interaction. The process of identity formation is greatly complicated by homosexuality (Teague, 1992). With few role models and few, if any, organized social outlets, this adjustment is often fraught with guilt, shame, and intense loneliness (Hetrick & Martin, 1987; Morrow, 1993). Interaction with peers is curtailed by the homosexual's perceived need for secrecy. Alienation from Family Identification with the family is no more successful for sexual minority youth than is identification with the school community. …
