Counseling psychologists are a cogent fit to lead the movement toward a sex-positive professional psychology (Burnes et al., 2017a). Though centralizing training in human sexuality (HS; Mollen & Abbott, 2021) and sexual and reproductive health (Grzanka & Frantell, 2017) is congruent with counseling psychologists' values, training programs rarely require or integrate comprehensive sexuality training for their students (Mollen et al., 2020). We employed a critical mixed-methods design in the interest of centering the missing voices of doctoral-level graduate students in counseling psychology in the discussion of the importance of human sexuality competence for counseling psychologists. Using focus groups to ascertain students' perspectives on their human sexuality training (HST) in counseling psychology, responses yielded five themes: (a) HST is integral to counseling psychology training, (b) few opportunities to gain human sexuality competence, (c) inconsistent training and self-directed learning, (d) varying levels of human sexuality comfort and competence, and (e) desire for integration of HST. Survey responses suggested students were trained on the vast majority of human sexuality topics at low levels, consistent with prior studies surveying training directors in counseling psychology and at internship training sites (Abbott et al., 2021; Mollen et al., 2020). Taken together, results suggested students see HST as aligned with the social justice emphasis in counseling psychology but found their current training was inconsistent, incidental rather than intentional, and lacked depth. Recommendations, contextualized within counseling psychology values, are offered to increase opportunities for and strengthen HST in counseling psychology training programs.

咨询心理学中的性训练：学生观点的混合方法研究。

咨询心理学家是引领性积极专业心理学运动的有力人选（Burnes 等人，2017a）。尽管对人类性行为（HS；Mollen & Abbott，2021）和性与生殖健康（Grzanka & Frantell，2017）进行集中培训与咨询心理学家的价值观一致，但培训计划很少需要或整合对学生的全面性行为培训（Mollen 等等人，2020 年）。我们采用了一种批判性的混合方法设计，以便在讨论人类性能力对咨询心理学家的重要性时，将咨询心理学博士研究生缺失的声音集中起来。使用焦点小组来确定学生对咨询心理学中人类性行为训练（HST）的看法，回应产生了五个主题：(a) HST 是咨询心理学培训不可或缺的一部分，(b) 获得人类性能力的机会很少，(c) 不一致的培训和自主学习，(d) 不同程度的人类性舒适度和能力，以及 (e) 欲望用于 HST 的集成。调查回复表明，学生接受了绝大多数人类性行为主题的低水平培训，这与之前在咨询心理学和实习培训地点调查培训主管的研究一致（Abbott 等人，2021 年；Mollen 等人，2020 年）。总而言之，结果表明学生认为 HST 与咨询心理学中对社会正义的重视是一致的，但发现他们目前的培训是不一致的、偶然的而不是有意的，并且缺乏深度。建议，在咨询心理学价值观的背景下，提供增加机会和加强 HST 在咨询心理学培训计划中。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
