| Abstract: | Many clinicians, situated in a culture that privileges a dichotomous understanding of sexual orientation, are often challenged by the complex issues presented by bisexual clients. The aim of this article is to provide an expanded and contextualized understanding of bisexuality that will inform effective intervention with the clinical concerns presented by this frequently marginalized population. An overview of evolving perspectives on sexual orientation and bisexuality is followed by a discussion of treatment concerns relevant to bisexuals. A review of treatment approaches offers clinicians a fundamental framework to begin to effectively address the unique clinical concerns of bisexual clients.
