Book Reviews of Being Homosexual: Gay Men and Their Development
Book Review: Excellent for mental health practitioners working with gay men
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently completed my MSW and did my fieldwork with the HIV/AIDS population and am currently continuing working with this population. I have come across a great many gay men in my practice and this is singularly the best psychodynamic examination of gay males and the difficulties they often have, particularly those brought on by internalized homophobia. Since homosexuality's removal from DSM was so recent, a great deal of the published material from most of the twentieth century usually views as some kind of faulty inverse Oedipus complex (e.g. Peter Blos.) Of particular interest were Isay's views on Axis 2 disorders, particularly narcissistic personalities. Isay provides a refreshing theoretical approach and was invaluable in both my academic and field work and I plan to purchase my own copy for my future work. Highly recommended.
