Research has demonstrated that rates of depression are elevated among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) people as a result of social stigmatization. However, few studies have investigated interventions which address the proposed causes of depression for LGBT people (i.e., internalized and external oppression). This study tested a cognitive behavioural therapy-based group intervention for LGBT people living with depression, which was delivered based on anti-oppression principles and included sessions on coming out and internalized homophobia. Participants demonstrated statistically significant reductions in symptoms of depression, and statistically significant increases in self-esteem, following the intervention. Implications for service delivery to LGBT people are discussed. |
