The use of resilience theory constructs in psychotherapy with sexual and gender-diverse (SGD) individuals

This dataset provides the characteristics of the citations that met scoping review criteria across eleven databases. A scoping review was conducted on studies published between 1994 and 2024. Eligible studies focused on the use of resilience theory in psychotherapy practice, counselling, and therapeutic support with SGD individuals. Eleven databases (JSTOR, SAGE Journals, Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, ERIC, PsycINFO, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, Sabinet, and Africawide), and two search platforms (Google Scholar and African Journals Online) produced sixty-two publications. After de-duplication and screening, only seven articles were included in the review, indicating a scarcity of literature on the use of resilience theory as a therapeutic framework for SGD individuals.
