Abstract
In this chapter, the authors build upon previous chapters that focus on LGBTQI populations and on the education of psychologists about human rights. Here, they focus on the human rights of sexually and gender-diverse people and communities and how best to prepare psychologists for the future direction of psychology as a field that engages in practice, research, advocacy, and outreach. The authors share an international context related to the current status of sexually and gender-diverse people and provide a strong rationale for the need for psychologists to understand the role of human rights in their work with this population. They describe the need for improved training for psychologists about human rights of sexually and gender-diverse people. They provide an overview of current training models and objectives, as well as recommendations for the future.
