Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapy Dominic Davies & Silva Neves Overview Previously, this model might have been called Gay Affirmative Therapy. Many readers will be more familiar with the acronym LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans) applying to the group we describe. However, we prefer Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) as a term that encompasses the increasing alphabet soup of LGBTIQQAA and extends it. GSRD encompasses the long-established although frequently demonised identities and practices of BDSM/Kink to the more emerging sexual identities of Digisexuality and includes a wide range of consensual and ethical forms of non-monogamous relationship styles. See our Infographic (Appendix A) for a detailed explanation. GSRD Therapy is an emerging pluralistic model of therapy that integrates core biopsychosocial research and theories about Gender, Sex and Relationship Diverse people. All therapists need to have additional training in GSRD Therapy to work ethically and improve their clinical practice.
