Summary
Richard Isay was the first person to challenge the homophobia of the psychoanalytic community and prove, through his own story and those of his patients, that homosexuality is an innate characteristic rather than a learned pathology. Now revised and updated for the 21st-century, the groundbreaking Being Homosexual" "carries the reader through the main developmental stages in the gay male‘s life cycle from the initial awareness of same-sex impulses to coming out, forming friendships with other gay men, and a mature integration of one’s sexual identity. An invaluable resource for gay men, Being Homosexual is a compassionate and powerful work.
