PRISMAS is a new therapeutic intervention that builds upon the concepts of Schema Therapy to create a brief group intervention aimed at helping SGM cope with the stress and prejudice they have internalized by living in societies that stigmatize and attack the LGBTQIA+ community. This intervention manual provides a detailed breakdown of the 12 therapeutic sessions in which the intervention is organized, showing practitioners how to conduct it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe PRISMAS Group Therapy Handbook: A Brief Intervention Integrating Affirmative and Schema Therapy for Sexual and Gender Minorities \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003ewill be an invaluable resource for psychotherapists, clinical psychologists and other mental health professionals working with Sexual and Gender Minorities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e“While Schema Therapy offers a broad range of applications, there remains a gap in understanding how its principles apply to minority groups, including LGBTQIA+ individuals.
