A Different Kind of Outing: Training Counsellors to Work with Sexual Minority Clients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Past research indicates sexual minority training provided to graduate students of coun-selling psychology is minimal and inadequate. Graduates feel unprepared to work com-petently with sexual-minority individuals, yet Canadian and American professional associations require their members to be knowledgeable about sexual orientation and to be competent in providing counselling services to diverse clientele. Results from a four-item questionnaire e-mailed to 14 Canadian universities suggested that minimal training is offered to counselling graduate students concerning gay and lesbian psy-chology and counselling. Following a literature review, a flexible curriculum is sug-gested for counselling psychology graduate programs that conforms to theorized requirements for both multicultural competency and effective lesbian, gay, and bisexual affirmative counselling practice. Les recherches indiquent que la formation aux minorités sexuelles fournie aux étudiants diplômés en psychologie du counseling est minimale et insatisfaisante. Les diplômés ne se sentent pas prêts à travailler de façon compétente avec des individus appartenant à des minorités sexuelles, bien que les associations canadienne et américaine exigent que

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
