Abstract Transgender clients are disproportionately underrepresented in counseling, despite clinical needs therein. To better understand this problem, we investigated client recruitment within professional counseling literature. Using content analysis to identify codes and themes, we found that, out of 111 recruitment articles, one article highlighted sexual minorities and one included transgender individuals. Our analyses identify critical issues within the counseling profession’s lack of attention to and strategies for recruiting transgender clients. We hope to illuminate the dearth of literature regarding recruiting transgender clients to clinical services and provide implications for advocacy of transgender clients among future researchers, counselor educators, and practitioners.

重新思考跨性别客户的咨询招聘：使用内容分析来调查趋势

摘要 跨性别客户在咨询中的代表性不足，尽管其中有临床需求。为了更好地理解这个问题，我们调查了专业咨询文献中的客户招聘。使用内容分析来识别代码和主题，我们发现，在 111 篇招聘文章中，一篇文章强调了性少数群体，另一篇文章包括了跨性别者。我们的分析确定了咨询行业对招募跨性别客户缺乏关注和策略的关键问题。我们希望阐明有关招募跨性别客户参加临床服务的文献的缺乏，并为未来研究人员、辅导员教育工作者和从业者中倡导跨性别客户提供启示。
