Abstract: Investigates gay male, lesbian, and bisexual college students' satisfaction with their counseling experiences, and how the rate of depression, as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory, may interact with counseling satisfaction and preferences. Results from interviews with 31 gay/lesbian/bisexual subjects indicate strong satisfaction with current counseling and a preference for gay/lesbian/bisexual-specific counseling and counselors. Implications for service delivery are discussed. (GR)
