Abstract:
Affirmative approach has increasingly become the primary approach in working with clients belonging to gender and sexual diversity. In the recommendations and guidelines of the most important psychiatric and psychological associations, as well as the international organizations that bring these associations together, the shift towards an affirmative attitude is clearly observable.This manuscript attempts to present the theoretical background of the affirmative approach, details the possible difficulties of a person with a gender and sexual minority identity and, based on these, tries to provide specific affirmative advice for the helping professionals.
