The Treatment of Homosexuals with Mental Health Disorders Hardcover - 1988

by Michael W. Ross


From the publisher

A major text for clinicians and researchers who have an interest in homosexuality and homosexual patients with mental disorders, this book is an up-to-date review as well as a handbook covering the full range of affirmative treatments and therapies for lesbian and gay clients. Expert contributors look at problems caused by stigma and homophobic societal attitudes and discuss methods that can be used to work with gay clients in a positive context. Other issues of particular importance in working with lesbians and gay men are addressed.

First line

The disorder of Ego-Dystonic Homosexuality (302.00) in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (APA, 1980) emphasises both the patient's negative appraisal of his or her homosexual arousal and a positive desire for heterosexual relationships.
