Abstract

Bisexual women are particularly vulnerable to stigma due to possible bi-erasure from both heterosexual and lesbian and gay individuals and this can affect their future-oriented thinking. This study found mentoring relationships positively affect optimism of bisexual women; clinical considerations and implications are discussed based on this finding.
