The goal of this activity is to stimulate an in-depth exploration of a topic related to counseling with GLBT individuals. While there are no set number of references required there should be enough to represent a thorough review of the literature. Furthermore, the references used should come from scholarly journals. This can be supplemented with interviews or important references from other sources (ex. self-help materials, internet). The paper is to be written according to the guidelines set forth in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th Edition. The paper is to be 6-8 pages of text.
