Homosexuality and American Psychiatry

Rating:
Summary: How homosexuality was cured!
Review: This is an important book for anyone interested in how the diagnosis of homosexuality was dropped by the American Psychiatric Association in 1993. The author of this book gives a reasonable history of the events leading up to that decision and through interviews with psychiatrists who both supported and opposed the decision, illustrates the political nature of using medical diagnoses to determine what constitutes normal and abnormal behavior.
