Let’s Talk about CBT - Research Matters is a brand-new podcast from the BABCP, hosted by Steph Curnow, Managing Editor for the BABCP Journals Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy and The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. In this episode, Steph talks to Dr Jake Camp a clinical psychologist and DBT therapist about their paper “Gender- and sexuality-minoritised adolescents in DBT: a reflexive thematic analysis of minority-specific treatment targets and experience” published in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. This study aimed to understand the experiences of GSM young people in DBT and what difficulties and dilemmas associated with their gender and sexuality diversity were thought by them to be important to target in DBT. Jake talks about what this study found and highlights some really helpful recommendations for clinicians working with young LGBTQ+ people. You can find Jake's ful paper here: https://bit.ly/45GhM1C Transcript: Steph: Hello and welcome to Let’s Talk about CBT- Research Matters, the podcast that explores some of the latest research published in the BABCP journals with me Steph Curnow. Each episode, I'll be talking to a recently published author about their research, what was the motivation behind it and how they hope it will impact the world of CBT? In this episode, I talked to Dr Jake Camp. Jake is a clinical psychologist and lead author of the paper “Gender and sexuality minoritised, adolescents in DBT, a reflexive thematic analysis of minority specific treatment targets and experience” which was published in the Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. Steph: Hi, Jake, welcome to the podcast. Jake: Hello, nice to be here. Steph: Thank you so much for joining us. So just to start off the podcast, are you okay to tell me a bit about yourself and the service that you work for? Jake: Yes, absolutely. So, so my name is Jake Camp. the pronouns I use are he/they. I'm a clinical psychologist, and DBT therapist. So my main area of work is at a national, DBT service for adolescents that's based at the renowned Maudsley Hospital. I also work academically, mostly with the department of psychology and the LGBTQ+ mental health research group. So that is at King's College, London. and I mostly work with young people who have experienced a ton of trauma, sadly, and have had a lot of difficulties that have led to, finding it very hard to sort of survive and thrive in the world. Often, young people end up being quite highly suicidal, sadly and my area of research that I'm particularly keen with, and of course what we're hopefully talking a bit about today, is mainly around how therapies work for minoritised groups and particularly LGBTQ+ groups as my sort of main area of research. So, it's great to have a chat about that. Steph: So yeah, that leads us really nicely into talking about the paper because we are talking about one of the minority groups that you have been researching. So do you want to tell us a bit about who they are and what the paper is that we're talking about today? Jake: Yeah. So, the paper that we are focusing on today is, one where I really wanted to spend some time privileging and I suppose, increasing the sort of voices of LGBTQ plus young people in DBT. For those who are not familiar with that acronym, although hopefully most people are, of course, that is usually people who identify with a minoritised or minority sexual identity, so that's like lesbian, gay, queer, etc and or a sort of minoritised or diverse gender identity, so that might be trans, non-binary, or so forth. So the paper really was to try and, you know, sort of give a platform to LGBTQ+ young people about their experiences of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or DBT, because what we know from the literature is that, generally LGBTQ plus people experience quite a lot of barriers to accessing services. There's also some evidence of poorer experiences of services and even some of the poorer outcomes, particularly in the sort of adult literature. So we know that there's a bit of a problem with how we meet the needs of LGBTQ plus group generally across our services, and we know that LGBTQ plus groups usually are significantly more likely to experience mental health difficulties and particularly engage in self-harm and suicidal behaviours, sadly, which we think is associated with, societal oppression, what we call minority stress. So those are stressors unique to their sort of minority characteristics or identity. So, we think it's super important, you know, to sort of do more work in this area. And of course, sadly, there's not actually that much, particularly in DBT about this, but, I would say there's also not much robust work, across that sort of fields as well. So, so this is the paper. Steph: And I think one thing that really struck me when I was reading the paper, I've read a couple of iterations of it from when it was submitted to the published version, it's really about how much the lived experience of the young ...
