This study surveyed a national sample of school counselors who were members of
ASCA to understand what motivated their work, or not, with lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex (LGBTQQI) students in
school. The author implemented Q methodology to collect and analyze the data,
and results provide scholars and professional development providers with an
understanding of how they might be able to motivate different types of school
counselors to work with LGBTQQI students.
