Abstract
Therapists working with bisexual women clients need to inform and prep are themselves in a way that will allow the unique needs of bisexual w omen to be addressed in a constructive and supportive manner. To date, the literature pertaining to therapy with bisexual women has been ext remely limited. This paper attempts to identify ways in which bisexual women's needs in therapy differ from those of either lesbian or heter osexual women clients. Furthermore, it provides suggestions for how th erapists can prepare themselves to pursue meaningful and productive wo rk with bisexual women clients.
