Abstract
Three recently developed lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) counselor assessments are addressing long-standing mental health disparities and advancing LGB affirmative research, training, and practice. However, no comprehensive review of LGB instrumentation has been conducted. Addressing this need, the authors review the (a) LGB Affirmative Counseling Self-Efficacy Inventory (Dillon & Worthington, 2003), (b) Sexual Orientation Counselor Competency Scale (Bidell, 2005), and (c) LGB Working Alliance Self-Efficacy Scale (Burkard, Pruitt, Medler, & Stark-Booth, 2009). Each assessment is reviewed in terms of development, psychometric properties, limitations, and use in research. Implications and recommendations regarding LGB affirmative counselor competency are discussed.
