Can Homosexuals Change With Psychotherapy?

Hatterer, Lawrence J.; Tripp, Clarence A.

Sexual Behavior, 1, 4, 42-49, Jul 71

Presented is a debate between a physician and a psychologist concerning the possibility of successful intervention with homosexual behavior. The physician argues that homosexuality results from disturbed patterns of gender identity, while the psychologist sees homosexuality as an urge to respond to members of the same sex. From this urge may stem disturbed gender identity. (CJ)
