Effectiveness of a Well-Being Therapy Protocol on Sexual Minority Psychological Well-Being: A Single-Case Research Design.

Sexual minority individuals are at higher risk of mental health concerns than heterosexual individuals due to the impacts of minority stress. Previous counseling interventions for sexual minority individuals have focused on pathology and reducing negative symptoms. However, there is a need for more empirical counseling interventions that address these disparities from a positive psychology perspective. Utilizing a multiple probe single case research design, the current study examined the impact of a well-being therapy protocol for improving the psychological well-being for four sexual minority individuals. There was no functional relation observed for the Well-Being Therapy protocol on psychological well-being. Discussion of the findings and implications for future research are discussed.
