Heterosexual Persons’ Perceptions Regarding Language Use in Counseling: Extending Dorland and Fischer (2001)

An important original study by Dorland and Fischer noted how the use of inclusive language can affect the therapeutic relationship positively for gay, lesbian, and bisexual clients. In this extension of that study with heterosexual participants (N = 179), there seemed to be low, but positive, salience of the language used by the therapist. These participants showed negligible, but positive, sensitization to issues related to inclusiveness, so the ethical practice of inclusive language use seems to have little downside (and potentially a large positive impact).
