Is the Cass Identity Model Still Relevant in Working with LGBTQ+ Patients?
In 1979, Vivienne Cass developed her renowned six-stage LGBTQ+ identity development model.
During this seminar, we will review Cass’s model and then explore whether it remains relevant to our work with LGBTQ+ clients given the socio-cultural changes of the last 45 years.
