Abstract

Scholars have called for strengths-based approaches, particularly with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and nonbinary (LGBT/NB) clients to buffer against minority stress. Scholars have recommended that intake forms include questions about strengths. This study examined reported strengths from intake forms at a community clinic. A Consensual Qualitative Research–Modified (CQR-M) approach was used to analyze the strengths as reported by LGBT/NB clients. A total of 173 strengths from 64 individual participants were coded, yielding six domains: Connection, Interpersonal Skills, Abilities and Achievements, Role-Oriented, Self-Efficacy, and Resilience. We discuss clinical implications. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)
