Same-sex couples (SSC) have become increasingly recognized both socially and legally. Despite research regarding LGBTQ+ individuals’ mental health, there has been limited focus on interventions for SSC. The aim of the review investigates whether there are empirical quantitative studies evaluating the outcome of psychological interventions specifically delivered to SSCs. Overall, researchers found affirmative outcomes were related to high satisfaction with interventions and improvements on multiple variables such as health-related behaviors, relationship enhancement, and drug/alcohol abuse.
