Tennessee is one of the first states in the United States to have a law that enables counselors and therapists in independent practice to deny services to any client based on the practitioner's "sincerely held principles." This so-called "conscience clause" represents a critical moment in professional psychology, in which mental health care providers are on the frontlines of cultural and legal debates about religious freedom. Though the law's language is ambiguous, it was widely perceived to target sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals. We interviewed 20 SGM people living in Tennessee to understand their experiences with mental health care in the state and their perceptions of the law. Our participants perceive the law as fundamentally discriminatory, though they overwhelmingly conceptualize the conscience clause as legalizing discrimination toward members of all stigmatized groups-not just SGM individuals. They described individual and societal consequences for the law, including an understanding of the conscience clause as harmful above and beyond any individual discrimination event it may engender. We situate these findings amid the research on structural stigma and suggest that counseling psychologists become actively engaged in combatting conscience clauses, which appear to have profound consequences on mental health care engagement, particularly for populations vulnerable to discrimination.

良心条款和性和性别少数族裔的心理保健:案例研究。

田纳西州是美国最早制定法律的州之一,该法律允许独立执业的咨询师和治疗师根据执业者的“真诚坚持的原则”拒绝向任何客户提供服务。这个所谓的“良心条款”代表了职业心理学的一个关键时刻,在这个时刻,精神卫生保健提供者站在关于宗教自由的文化和法律辩论的前沿。尽管该法律的语言含糊不清,但人们普遍认为它针对的是性和性别少数群体 (SGM) 个人。我们采访了居住在田纳西州的 20 名 SGM 人士,以了解他们在该州的精神卫生保健经历以及他们对法律的看法。我们的参与者认为法律具有根本的歧视性,尽管他们压倒性地将良心条款概念化为对所有受歧视群体成员的歧视合法化——而不仅仅是 SGM 个人。他们描述了法律对个人和社会的后果,包括将良心条款理解为有害于它可能导致的任何个人歧视事件。我们将这些发现置于对结构性污名的研究中,并建议咨询心理学家积极参与打击良心条款,这似乎对心理卫生保健的参与产生了深远的影响,尤其是对易受歧视的人群。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA,保留所有权利)。他们描述了法律对个人和社会的后果,包括将良心条款理解为有害,超出了它可能导致的任何个人歧视事件。我们将这些发现置于对结构性污名的研究中,并建议咨询心理学家积极参与打击良心条款,这似乎对心理卫生保健的参与产生了深远的影响,尤其是对易受歧视的人群。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA,保留所有权利)。他们描述了法律对个人和社会的后果,包括将良心条款理解为有害于它可能导致的任何个人歧视事件。我们将这些发现置于对结构性污名的研究中,并建议咨询心理学家积极参与打击良心条款,这似乎对心理卫生保健的参与产生了深远的影响,尤其是对易受歧视的人群。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA,保留所有权利)。我们将这些发现置于对结构性污名的研究中,并建议咨询心理学家积极参与打击良心条款,这似乎对心理卫生保健的参与产生了深远的影响,尤其是对易受歧视的人群。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA,保留所有权利)。我们将这些发现置于对结构性污名的研究中,并建议咨询心理学家积极参与打击良心条款,这似乎对心理卫生保健的参与产生了深远的影响,尤其是对易受歧视的人群。(PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA,保留所有权利)。
