Peer review
Great work! Your contribution to "Gay affirmative psychotherapy" is clear, neutral, well-written, and clinically relevant. I especially enjoy how you focus on the topic of religious-related distress among LGBTQ+ individuals, and the fact that these issues stem from institutional and relational conflicts rather than the religious practice itself. I also love that you include explicit examples of mediational strategies that clinicians can use with clients. The intersection of LGBTQ+ identities and spirituality/religious practices are rich areas of consideration for clinicians. You have included a great reference that addresses clinicians' viewpoints of sexual identity disclosure, and I would be interested to see if you could also include research of client attitudes/perspectives of this process. Further, would you be able to include any research regarding the salience of ethnicity, lesbian women or bisexual individuals for increased intersectionality? Speaking to the cultural competence of the clinician and basic identity-affirming techniques may be useful additions to your section as well. Excited to read your final product!
